Chloe Sorvino I Staff Writer at Forbes
I head up all coverage of food, drink and agriculture at Forbes, from profiling entrepreneurs and publicly traded companies in the magazine to managing the section's contributors. I lead the 30 Under 30 Food and Drink list and the Forbes Ag Tech Summits, with signature events in Salinas and Indianapolis.
My six years of reporting at Forbes has brought me to In-N-Out Burger’s secret test kitchen, drought-ridden farms in California’s Central Valley, a billionaire-owned slaughterhouse in Omaha, and even a chocolate croissant factory designed like a medieval castle in Northern France.
A package I worked on for the Financial Times, "The Cost of War," detailed the U.S. government's running price tag for its more than decade-long conflict in Afghanistan. The package won a 2014 Best in Business award by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers for government reporting.
My work has also been featured in NPR and Women's Wear Daily, among others.
