Edible-Alpha® is a project of the Food Finance Institute (FFI) and the University of Wisconsin System’s Institute of Business and Entrepreneurship. Founded by Tera Johnson, FFI leverages and supports a collaborative network of professionals focused on the food, beverage and value-added agriculture sector.

Why Edible-Alpha®?
There are, unfortunately, many bad business ideas being circulated on the internet.

Edible-Alpha® also includes premium (paid) content, digital training, and access to a community of practitioners who can help the next generation of food and beverage businesses get profitable and raise money.
