discover alternate food ingredients that can feed 10 billion people without harming the planet, and
share what is happening across the pond in the San Francisco Bay Area!
Panel 1: Building Sustainable Food System in ASEAN
How can an already-stressed food system feed 10 billion people sustainably? How can we address the key challenge of producing more with less, while ensuring the highest safety standards in Asia?
Our panel experts will discuss how innovation and technology can radically transform and strengthen the food systems in Asia. They will also share what their organisations are doing to ensure that technology is being deployed and adapted to make the supply chain more productive, efficient and resilient.
