This will explore how advances in biotechnology\, automation\, AI\, and precision systems can help build a more sustainable\, resilient\, and efficient food system. \n\n\n\nBringing together researchers\, startups\, investors\, policymakers\, and industry leaders from around the world\, EPA 2026 is designed to move innovation from insight to implementation. Discussions will span everything from precision fermentation and bioprocess engineering to consumer acceptance\, supply chains\, and the future of protein production. \n\n\n\nAs alternative proteins continue to gain momentum globally\, this track highlights the growing connection between food innovation and the broader agricultural transition already underway. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent location\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGFI speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElliot Swartz\, PhD\n\n\n\nSENIOR PRINCIPAL SCIENTIST\, CULTIVATED MEAT \n\n\n\nElliot’s work at GFI focuses on analyzing the technical and economic bottlenecks facing the cultivated meat industry\, identifying opportunities to accelerate the industry\, and educating scientists\, the public\, and other industry stakeholders. For the past five years\, Elliot has worked on projects ranging from food safety and environmental impact to in-depth analysis of the cultivated meat value chain. Elliot holds a PhD in neuroscience from the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, where he worked with induced pluripotent stem cells to model neuromuscular disease. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n July 29\, 2026\n \n Virtual Event\n \n \n \n Business of Alt Protein: The Science of Charisma for Founders\, Leaders\, and Professionals\n \n \n \n Join charisma expert Olivia Fox Cabane\, who will share research-backed techniques for building trust\, communicating with confidence\, and increasing your… \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n August 7\, 2026\n \n Virtual Event\n \n \n \n African Food Research Conference 2026\n \n \n \n GFI is proud to support the African Food Research Conference 2026\, a two-day virtual event organized by the Centre for… \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n August 10\, 2026\n \n \n \n Earth Precision Agriculture Conference 2026\n \n \n \n GFI’s Elliot Swartz is helping shape the future of food biomanufacturing at EPA 2026—where precision agriculture\, biotechnology\, and cellular agriculture… \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n August 13\, 2026\n \n Virtual Event\n \n \n \n The Science of Alt Protein: Growth factors—Driving cultivated meat cost and scalability\n \n \n \n Learn how researchers are developing innovative approaches to reduce growth factor costs and make cultivated meat production more affordable. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n August 19\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n The Future of Meat: Technology\, Sustainability\, and the Meats of Tomorrow\n \n \n \n Bruce Friedrich heads to The Commonwealth Club for a conversation about Meat—and why rethinking how we produce meat could shape… \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n September 29\, 2026\n \n Virtual Event\n \n \n \n Fish & CHIPS: Collaborative Huddle for Ideation & Problem Solving\n \n \n \n Calling all cultivated seafood researchers and innovators!
