Future Foods: Sustainability on the menu
We all need food. But the way we produce, process, and consume it puts enormous pressure on our climate, environment, and natural resources.
From carbon emissions and biodiversity loss to resource scarcity and food waste, the food system is deeply connected to some of the biggest challenges of our time.
But that also means it holds huge potential for change.
In the next and final cohort of Deep Green Innovators, we focus on The Future of Food.
The 4 sub themes
Future Foods: Sustainability on the menuis a broad topic that covers some of the key challenges and opportunities shaping tomorrow’s food system.
To make it more concrete, we have divided the theme into the following four sub themes.
Future Food Systems

Turning Food Waste into Value
Transforming Food Choices: From Consumer to Market
