By 2050, the world will have over 10 billion mouths to feed, making it virtually impossible for the current food economy to sustain this population growth. One solution to this problem is being driven by clean and plant protein innovations that aim to increase sustainability, quality, and transparency back into the food system.
Companies such as Memphis Meats, Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, Super Meat, Mosa Meat and many others are revolutionising the global food markets, resulting in increased investment flowing into the sustainable food industry.
So what is Clean Meat? What are the current developments of this sustainable meat and when can we expect it to reach our dining tables?
At our panel, The Future of the Farm: Clean Meat and How Aussie Entrepreneurs Can Disrupt the Food Industry our expert panelists will explore:
