Industry Pathways | Agriculture, Food Systems, Bioscience & Sustainability
June 17, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm ET
About This Event
Agriculture, food systems, bioscience, and sustainability represent one of the most rapidly evolving and mission-driven sectors in the American economy — and one where the discipline, leadership, and systems thinking developed through military service translate with remarkable power. From precision agriculture and supply chain logistics to biotechnology research and environmental stewardship, this industry is actively seeking professionals who understand how to operate with purpose under pressure. FourBlock is proud to bring together leading employers and industry voices to help veterans and military-connected job seekers explore the wide range of opportunities available in this space.
This Industry Pathways event will connect you directly with hiring managers, talent acquisition professionals, and veterans already working across agriculture, food production, life sciences, and sustainability sectors. You will gain honest, firsthand perspective on what these organizations are looking for, how military experience maps to civilian roles, and what career growth looks like once you are inside these industries. Whether your background is in logistics, engineering, healthcare, environmental operations, or leadership, there is a pathway here for you.
FourBlock's mission is to prepare, connect, and empower transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses to build meaningful civilian careers. This event is a direct expression of that mission — giving you access to the people, information, and networks that can accelerate your transition into a sector that is growing, impactful, and values what you bring to the table.
