The Future Dinner Plate
We have the power to reduce emissions using sustainable alternatives produced with the circular economy in mind. Conventional approaches to growing, processing, and packaging food are harming our planet. But how do we coordinate efforts to make change? This panel explores various solutions — from sustainable dairy to reusable takeout containers — that help mitigate the impacts food production and convenience have on our climate. We’ll examine the transformative ability of technology, address barriers to adoption, and discuss how advancements in the lab can shape our food choices for good.
