Our Story
Our founder, Christina Dokter is a Korean American whose parents and grandparents were deeply affected by the Korean War. Growing up, Christina heard harrowing stories of escape from North to South Korea--the hunger, the fear, and the anxieties.
Affected by such stories, Christina grew up thinking about war and how to stop conflict. She majored in political science to see if there was any way to stop violent wars. She learned that power politics ruled the world, and that there will always be wars somewhere in the world.
So, she married and studied educational technology to help raise her children.
When online learning became popular, she learned from Tech Utopians that education will create an even playing field for developing countries. So Christina decided to get a Ph.D. in distance learning. However, the digital divide slowed that idea.
Finally, she was reading about manna in the Bible and asked whether science could not also make such miracle foods for people caught up in war.
Thus, Wisdom Science Collaborative was born.
Our Mission
To educate college students to create innovative humanitarian food for people caught up in war and disaster.
Our Vision
A world in which food blockades are ineffective
We asked the question: If science and technology are advancing so rapidly, why are people still vulnerable to starvation when war or disaster cuts off conventional food systems?
Hunger is a "wicked" problem with no one solution. It requires an ongoing collaborative innovation system focused on food and water resilience. We cycle generations of students and scientists through a RAG repository updated over time by AI agents.
As we aim to support individuals affected by war and facing blockade, the resulting products also provide biotech and agri-tech solutions for communities facing crises such as natural disasters.
