EAT ASIA-PACIFIC FOOD FORUM OCTOBER 30-31st

EAT ASIA-PACIFIC FOOD FORUM

The world faces a fundamental challenge in sustainably feeding a healthy diet to over nine billion people by 2050. A resilient food system and sustainable diets are pivotal in solving this challenge and achieving both the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement. As the most populous region in the world, the Asia Pacific plays a decisive role in combatting many of the interlinked issues at hand, such as malnutrition, deforestation, loss of biodiversity and rising greenhouse gas emissions.
Could animal-free proteins be the future of food? How are big brands attempting to change consumer behaviour in the food space? Could food go from being the cause of some of our greatest health and climate challenges to become a cure for them?
Dr. Gunhild Stordalen Founder
and President of EAT Foundation
