Description

Increasing the proportion of plant-based food people eat is one of the crucial steps towards more sustainable, healthy diets – with huge excitement, investment and momentum around plant-based innovation in Europe and the US. However, that innovation is not necessarily well-aligned with ensuring that nutritious, sustainable food is widely affordable, accessible and desirable to a wide range of people and communities. As it stands, plant-based innovation is not delivering sustainable nutrition for all.

What if we could harness the energy around plant-based innovation to help catalyse the transformations in the food system that are urgently needed? What kinds of innovation, in the widest sense, do we need to deliver a healthier, more sustainable and, crucially, more equitable food system, from new approaches to innovation and new business models, to cultural and mindset shifts? How might plant-based innovation help drive that ‘just transition’ of diets in Europe and the US?

Facilitated by Forum for the Future, the interactive and experimental ‘Action Sprint’ will ask ‘Where next for plant-based innovation?’ It will bring together a diverse group of people to explore perspectives on the challenged, develop shared visions and identify potential pathways for action.
