In 2024, we will explore nine key areas that are poised to make the biggest impact, including: - Carbon MRV (measurement, reporting and verification) - Upcycling - Ingredient diversification See all nine themes by creating a free profile or logging into the Foodbytes hub: https://lnkd.in/e7jQpSK8 #Foodbytes2024 #FoodTech #AgTech #Innovation #Upcycling #IngredientDiversification

2024 will go down as the best food transformation year so far! It is just a few days left to this year's edition of Sweden Foodtech Big Meet, this time in full synch with the Stockholm Fair and their GastroNord food trade show! Tue-Thu next week we will be in full discovery mode, learning, understanding and enjoying food in all dimensions, not the least the ones outside the plate, you know, where the true value of food resides. To be honest, for over a decade the quest for food to change has felt all but impossible, but we are reaching a tipping point. A few observations: - That farmers protest new EU regulations aimed at greening our European food production, forcing regulators to retreat does not mean the end, but the end of the beginning. Food transformation is now solidly on the tables of lawmakers who are beginning to understand the topic for real. That wasn't the case only a few years ago and now food sector transformation is something you can build a political career on as a savvy, young politician. Sorry old industry, you will loose this battle. - In spite of the above, farmers will win the day. Not by doing what they do today, but by becoming true custodians of nature and providers of all the glory of food. That will require some new thinking and new economic models but what farmers will realize is that the world is there for them. What we do not need are the current practices of huge monocultures and animal factories. - Science has taken grand leaps. What was novelty a few years ago, such as precision fermentation, lab-grown meat and the rest, is today practiced in labs and factories all over the world. The development is truly astonishing; like going from the abacus to the computer. The development is currently held back by regulators, but once the first novelties start to pass the legal hurdles, the hole in the dam will widen and, suddenly, boom! - People are increasingly measuring themselves, understanding more and more about what food does to them. - As to the above, data reins supreme. - VC investments in food are down compared to the last few years when money was free. Who cares. They are radically up compared to what was the case before the past crazy few years. Overall, money - and not just the tiny part that VC represents - is also transforming alongside food. The dynamics of a properly funded and entrepreneur-driven system transformation is starting to take shape. - Mighty incumbents are being held accountable for greenwashing. That the meat giant JBS is sued by the State of New York for such practices is only the beginning. Food companies, it is time that you start sending your problems to the innovation department (if you have any) instead of communications and marketing. More observations will be had at the Big Meet. Do remember: we put this together for all those that want to transform our food systems into something better. For you! https://lnkd.in/gwA222TK
