🎯 At the EIT Food #NextBite24 event in Rome, Deniz Koca from project partner Lund University presented the FEASTS project, involving 35 partners from 16 countries. 🌱 Deniz outlined the project's objectives and the outcomes we're working towards, and highlighted the #food systems approach employed by the FEASTS. 🔬 FEASTS is looking into the multi-dimensional impact that #cultured meat and seafood might have on a future food system and considering the pathways and frameworks that can make it more #sustainable and fair. 🌍 As today is #WorldFoodDay it's perfect timing to engage with game-changers, thought leaders, and pioneers discussing the future of food at Next Bite! #cultivatedmeat #CellularAgriculture #AgTech #Innovation

It was a pleasure to discuss today at South Summit the approaches and experiences Investing in Food Tech with Mariya Konstantinova, Ian Marsh and Gil Gidron #foodtech #investment #vc #startup

Data4Food2030 and FoodDataQuest EU organized a joint special session during #effost2024 International Conference on Future Food Systems. Together with Jos van den Puttelaar, Cor Verdouw, Xuezhen Guo and Houkje Adema, we showed how data is am enabler of sustainable Food Systems. I talked about how we start implementing the Data Act and Data Governance Act bottom-up, by making data flow across borders using our platform DjustConnect. Farmers, consumers, industry... they all can just use their trusted local system, but connections between interoperable systems ensure that you can also have International smart, sustainable and healthy solutions. thank you for the organision, European Federation of Food Science and Technology , Universiteit Gent and KU Leuven .

📢 Ag and Food tech/ prospective investors: consider joining this round table retreat in Northern California next month. I’ll be there discussing some of the promise and pitfalls of indoor aquaculture. My talk topic: for something seen as inevitable, why has investment in indoor aqua been slow to come in and see returns? If nothing else, I’ll give my honest opinion of where the technology stands relative to the market opportunity.

Thrilled to share some highlights from my incredible time at the #FutureFoodTech Conference in Chicago! 🌍🚀 1. Innovative Conversations: Had the opportunity to engage with some truly innovative companies making strides in the food tech sector. Their creativity and passion are paving the way for a sustainable future! 🌱🤝 2. Consumer Acceptance: We dove deep into discussions about consumer acceptance, exploring what it takes to bring new tech from the lab to the table. Understanding consumer needs is key! 🍽️💡 3. Cultivated Meat Commercialization: Tackled the vital conversations around the challenges and opportunities in expediting the commercialization of cultivated meat. 🥩 4. Navigating Product Claims: I had the privilege of leading a roundtable on the complexities of complying with, verifying, and supporting new product claims. A crucial discussion for ensuring trust and transparency in our industry. 📑✅ 5. Endless Networking: Engaged in countless conversations throughout the conference, each adding valuable insights and fostering collaborative opportunities. 🗣️🤗 Thank you to all who joined and contributed to the discussions. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in food technology! 🌟🌐 #FoodTech #FoodInnovation #SustainableFuture #alternativeproteins

As World Agri-Tech closes it is time to change gears and look forward to the next two days at Future Food-Tech #ScotlandIsNow #FutureFoodTech

🤔 The Food2030 Networks Conference:  Do incremental innovations delay progress to more systemic innovations that lead to fundamental change, or can the sum of many small incremental innovations build up to a larger systemic innovation? 💡 For FUSILLI, focusing on the 'transformation of the urban food system', this is an important question. When looking at all the individual activities we carry out in our Living Labs, they seem small. However, representing FUSILLI as a whole, these incremental changes are enough to make a shift in the small scope that make it easier to move the 'larger mountains' in food systems in the EU-wide context. "There is a need for purposeful data sharing rather than sharing for the sake of sharing without knowing who will use it." - was a particularly interesting insights coming from the session "Innovation, Data, Digital Tools, and Sustainability Assessment". By sharing data with purpose, we can make sure that valuable data doesnt become lost in the crowd, and are user-friendly enough to be used in practice.

Is cultivated meat the future of sustainable protein, or are we heading for another tech bubble? In this week’s episode, we sit down with industry expert Steven Lang, who delves into the challenges and potential of cultivated meat. Highlights: 1. Discover why cultivated meat needs to match traditional meat in taste and texture, reduce costs, and scale massively to succeed. 2. Learn about the immense scientific and economic hurdles still to be overcome, and get insights into the innovative solutions that could make cultivated meat a reality. 3. Dive into the intricate balance between technological innovation and market readiness in this thought-provoking discussion. #cellculture #bioprocessing #cultivatedmeat

On November 29-30, Tartu Biotechnology Park invites you to the “Hack the Future of Food” Hackathon—an exciting opportunity for anyone passionate about shaping a more sustainable food system. The goal is simple: come together, use design thinking, and create potential business solutions in a short time. You don’t need any prior experience—just curiosity and a willingness to explore a topic that can change everything! As someone deeply committed to improving public health by transforming the food environment to naturally guide people toward better nutrition, I’m super happy (and really honoured) to join the hackathon as a mentor and speaker. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on “If Not Now, Then When”—a discussion on why, when, and how we must act to change the food environment, starting with our own food choices and behaviours. Small changes in how we eat can trigger bigger transformations in the entire food system.
