Future Bites: Alt Proteins, Sustainable Eats & Rooftop Revelations
Thursday, April 10 at 10 am
Join us for a rooftop experience with an exciting conversation exploring the future of food through the lenses of innovation, equity, and sustainability.
Moderated by innovation and circular systems expert Dr. Lara Ramdin, this panel brings together trailblazers who are redefining what’s on our plates and how it gets there.
Hanna Barlow of the Good Food Institute will dive into the science and scale-up of plant-based and cultivated meat, and the global movement toward a more sustainable protein supply. Chef Lucy of Eat Sauterelle will share her culinary adventures crafting craveable dishes with novel proteins, including insects. Dana Thiel from Meaningful Works will provide insights on the intersection of social impact, community empowerment, and climate-smart food systems.
What we eat and how we grow it is changing fast, driven by the need to feed a growing population more sustainably. Whether you’re a curious consumer, policymaker, or food industry innovator—this bite-sized session is one you won’t want to miss.
