Happy ' I hope this isn't how the American experiment fails' day to those of you who celebrate. This segment is a must-watch as we await returns this evening.

it me

Today's #farmtofork meeting at @10DowningStreet is an opportunity for key actors in the UK's food and farming system to take stock of the system as a whole, as we set out in the Hope Farm Statement published last Friday by the @FFC_Commission [1/10]: ffcc-uk.files.svdcdn.com/production/ass…

An incredibly powerful piece from @chefjoseandres after the tragic deaths of @WCKitchen staff this week. Food is a universal human right and should never be a tool of war! nytimes.com/2024/04/03/opi…

#LetsTalkAboutFood, in this case protein. From ⁦@CellAgEurope⁩ ⁦@robertejones⁩ says « #CellMeat is not about replacing animal agriculture. There is no silver bullet for sustainable protein production. The protein supply of the future must be diverse to be resilient »

Last week in Warsaw 🇵🇱🇪🇺, #CellAgriEU president, @robertejones, attended the annual Kongres Mięsny, where he passionately shared Cellular Agriculture Europe's mission. 💪 Let's continue to pave the way for a sustainable, kinder future!🌱🚀 #cellularagriculture #cultivatedmeat

Chef @andrewzimmern nailed it this morning on @GMA! Great easy recipes and a primer on the important work of the U.N. @WFP goodmorningamerica.com/food/video/ref…

Almost done! 12 days at #COP28, hosted 8 events, spoke at 5, 100+hrs of multi-laterals & scrappy behind-the-scenes work with 100's of impressive #foodsystems thought leaders to make sure we take #actiononfood in the #globalstocktake.

After two weeks of intense negotiations, global declarations and a whole day focused on Food and Agriculture, have we done enough for #ActionOnFood? Our final event will feature a lively panel of experts across the food systems offering closing reflections on #COP28, what more needs to be done and where we're headed next 🤔 Come and join us - audience participation essential!

⏰1 week to #COP28 ⏰ As a community of food organisations, farmer co-hosts and youth co-hosts we recognise that food systems transformation needs to be a multi-stakeholder effort. That's why we're pushing for ambitious and transformative #ActionOnFood. Learn more about our mission and be part of the movement. 🌍 foodsystemspavilion.com

@_CEJA_ @MeedendorpPeter @elisabeth_hiden @Kathschob @PerelSebastien @AaltMiddendorp @AnnavdeMoosdijk @picotmarion @mariobejar_ @EUAgri @eucapnetwork Great to see @_CEJA_ having this conversation. Please let us know if there is any information we can add from the membership of @CellAgEurope or from @mosa_meat in Maastricht.

@jamesdacey Yes, is the answer! but none are insurmountable and consumer acceptance is the low hanging meat. Getting COGS down as fast as possible to reach price parity is a tech challenge we are focused on and making great progress. #futurefood23

What is the biggest challenge in bringing cultivated meat to the mainstream in Europe – Price? Tech? Public perception? Or Regulation? @robertejones #futurefood23

@NatashaFoote @EITFood @SabaLoftus @joewhitworth @adamekonline @JMCASTILLABARO @lauklerkx @NachoLGA1962 @AlarikSandrup @fleroy1974 @ZG_Nutrition Not sexy, but true. We need more innovation in behavior change economics and psychology. At then end of the day consumers hold the big levers to fix most of the wicked challenges with their habits and buying power. #futurefood23

@EITFood @SabaLoftus @joewhitworth @adamekonline @JMCASTILLABARO @lauklerkx @NachoLGA1962 @AlarikSandrup @fleroy1974 @ZG_Nutrition When we talk tech/innovation in food systems, we tend towards ‘sexy’ new ideas. What, in your opinion, is the least 🔥 but most impactful kind of innovation we need to see, perhaps one that you think doesn’t get the air time it deserves in media? #FutureFood23

It's officially ‘Power Hour’🙌 Join our live Q&A using #FutureFood23 for the next hour - our expert panel will answer your questions on #foodsystems transformation focused on 4 key areas: 🩷 Trust & Transparency 🥦 Food Security 🖋️ Policy & Regulation 🚀 Technology & Innovation

My take is that we humans have created a wicked existential challenge with climate change, and it will take ALL of the tools in the tool box to take it on. Innovation of complementary proteins is ONE of those tools #futurefood23

@EITFood @jamesdacey As a classically trained chef, I am well aware that food is culture and a touchy subject for most. As we look to innovate, we have to meet people where they are and bring them quality products that fit within their budget and cultural traditions or we will fail. #futurefood23

@jamesdacey @robertejones what do you think about the role of food and innovation in culture wars? #FutureFood23

Are you concerned that rapid change in the agri-food system will increasingly feed into culture wars in Europe? As we saw with Italy's 'ban' on cultivated meat and opposition to the nature restoration law within the European Parliament #futurefood23

@EITFood @mosa_meat @NatashaFoote @joewhitworth @SophieHealyThow @AnnaBNordell @ZG_Nutrition @StphaniT @adamekonline Peopl are making more and more buying decisions based on sustainability practices, and agrifood and farming is no different. People want to know that what they put on their fork hasn’t had a negative impact on the environment. #FutureFood23

@EITFood @mosa_meat @NatashaFoote @joewhitworth @SophieHealyThow @AnnaBNordell @ZG_Nutrition @StphaniT @adamekonline We are on that track, but creating new foods is only one step. People need to trust them and enjoy them too! More funding is needed to speed up innovation to meet our environmental targets and ensuring people trust the food they’re eating. #FutureFood23

Is Europe on the right innovation track?🇪🇺 Our final moderator today is @robertejones from @mosa_meat talking all things technology and innovation in our #foodsystems 🍔 Please send in your final questions now using #FutureFood23 and join the discussion!

Advancements in tech and innovation in the food industry are needed rapidly to meet ambitious climate and transformation targets. Let’s chat about it! #FutureFood23 @mosa_meat @CellAgEurope

I am personally a hardcore carnivore, giving up meat would be very difficult, which is why I was attracted to working on alternatives. We need to lift up a range of complementary proteins and let consumers choose. #futurefood23
