Feeding the future: sustainable solutions for a growing world

Leading Tech Voices: environment and food

With the global population rising and arable land decreasing due to climate change, how can we sustainably produce enough food while reducing the CO2 emissions caused by intensive agriculture?

Robin Simsa (Revo Foods) and David Mazur (Nestlé) discuss the need for new technologies to produce food and the pivotal role IP plays in bringing these sustainability breakthroughs to market.  You’ll find out what’s behind promising processes such as precision fermentation and 3D printed food, plus learn about what’s making plant-based foods more appealing (even to carnivores). 

Moderator: Ricardo Oltra, Patent examiner and team manager, European Patent Office

Speakers:

Robin Simsa, CEO, Revo Foods

David Mazur, General Counsel R&D, Nestlé
