• Description:
  Incubator and accelerator programs are important tools for innovators looking to take their ideas to scale. Unfortunately for agriculture, forestry, and fishing (AgFF) populations who are at high risk for occupational injuries and fatalities, few safety and health solutions have graduated from these programs. This brief report explores what it will take to develop an incubator process specific to AgFF safety and health innovations and ensure that those innovations are accessible to and adopted by workers.
