Food and feed systems worldwide face challenges in ensuring food security and nutrition for a steadily growing global population, while guaranteeing the livelihoods of farmers and other stakeholders in the food chain and maintaining a sustainable environment.
Sustainable agricultural practices and food systems, encompassing production and consumption, must be pursued holistically, integrating innovative developments with environmental protection. Alternative protein sources such as insects, fungi, algae, and microbes are filling the gap of sustainable, nutritious and safe foods in the future.
In this context, we are pleased to announce the organisation of the International Conference on Alternative Proteins for Food and Feed.
This conference will discuss sustainable alternative protein sources and explore how they can transform the way we feed the world. Focussing on safety and nutritional aspects, including consumer perception and economic success.
The conference will conclude with a dynamic and engaging panel discussion, where participants’ voices will shape the conversation! Share your thoughts and suggested topics through the registration form to help shape the discussion, and be sure to join in, ask questions and share your insights!
The conference will be of a hybrid format (virtual and in presence), so wherever you are, join us and register.
We look forward to welcoming you at the International Conference on Alternative Proteins for Food and Feed in Berlin from 03–05 December 2024.
