Putting the Future of Food to the Taste TestACTIVATIONExpired
The food revolution is here. Millennia of traditional animal husbandry have shaped our cultures, palates and expectations, at the expense of the environment, of precious resources like water, land and of animal life. Alternatives are in the pipeline and are being approved for consumption. This session presents a unique opportunity to safely taste cultivated meat, chocolate created in a lab, as well as eggs and milk produced completely animal-free. Try for yourself and meet some of the companies behind these game-changing products.
