What tomorrow’s food will look like?
What does “eating better” mean?

In a world that keeps growing, food remains a key stone of our societies, their cultures and their survival. While the last thirty years have promoted models of overproduction and overconsumption, a new era of “eating better” is emerging and requiring new models of production and distribution of products that are good for people but also for the planet.

We choose to tackle
the following challenges:

FOOD EQUALITY

840Millions

people suffering from food insecurity in 2030 worldwide.
