Ponix, a winner of the IoT.ATL AgTech Challenge, is identifying scalable AgTech solutions to address the need for resilient food systems and illuminate how technology can be used to solve the pressing social issues of our time.

Ponix is developing end-to-end local food ecosystems focused on reclassifying food as a utility, much like water or electricity.
