Good experience to have been at #EIT_Food‘s Next Bite conference the last two days. Very rich and content-deep conversations and presentations on how to address the Future of Food. My key takeaways: 1) As Richard Zaltzman put it at the end, there is momentum with lots of inspiration and action. Corporates, start-ups, institutions and academics are working on a wide range of issues for today‘s food system and come up with innovative solutions. But there is a huge challenge in connecting the dots and scaling the solutions more broadly 2) Nature needs diversity, consumers need simplicity. It is important to move towards one regulatory framework to give clarity and transparency to all 3) Solutions need to solve real consumer problems. Many concepts and ideas are either rather abstract or not really picking up consumers where they are 4) Food is complicated and the challenge is multi-faceted. This often leads to one step forward and two steps back in discussions and in implementing solutions 5) Tech and data are the enablers, not the solution. It is about responsible and smart application on the right topics. Do rather fewer things, but those really well 6) Collaborating in the ecosystem is the key. But we are not there yet - by far. It needs high-impact joint projects to build the trust across participants   Thanks to #EIT_Food's Michiel De Ruiter and Richard Zaltzman for orchestrating this event and getting participants of the ecosystem together. Our global #PwC Rethinking Food community is committed to participate in the Food ecosystem and help making the transition happen - for the benefit of all.
