SXSW 2023

Decoupling Food from Agriculture

Description:

There are many negative ramifications of climate change, and the continued challenges to the agricultural industry will be high. In addition to the side effects of global warming, the growing world population will demand an increase in the food supply, further putting stress on current systems. Political unrest in agricultural regions and tensions on supply chains further exacerbate the challenge of getting food on our plates. In conversation with entrepreneurs at the forefront of a movement to reimagine the way food staples are manufactured, we will look into the emerging role of fermentation in building the next generation of sustainable food. We will offer an overview of the science behind fermentation and how it is used to create sustainable alternatives to wheat and even coffee.
