SUMMARY:SFNV Impact Forum: Cultured Food
DESCRIPTION:SFNV Impact Forums are one-hour online seminars featuring Swiss and international experts that delve into the topics behind our Impact Platforms. \nWhy attend?\nIn just 60 minutes you’ll hear the latest insights from four expert speakers and then share knowledge and explore synergies with other attendees in our quick-fire Q&A session. \nWhat?\nProtein is one of the building blocks of life – essential to a balanced diet and necessary for growth and the repair of damaged tissues. Demand for protein is on the rise as the world’s population is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 (1). 1 billion people around the world already do not consume enough protein (2) and our food system today accounts for 30% of global GHG emissions (3). Without innovation\, it will be impossible to provide enough protein to meet demand while meeting the targets set out by the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nBuilding on Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley’s State of Play 2.0 event in December 2024\, this online forum will provide both Swiss and international experts with an opportunity to continue to explore the trends and opportunities in this space and how we can scale the most promising approaches. \nWho?\nThe session will be led by Christina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO of SFNV\, a passionate advocate for food system sustainability. She’ll be joined by three expert speakers from the Valley’s ecosystem. \n\nYannick Gächter\, CEO The Cultured Hub\nCarlotte Lucas\, Head of Industry\, The Good Food Institute Europe\nRalph Langholz\, Vice-President\, Swiss Protein Associaiton\n\n  \nWould you like to join us?\n \nJust RSVP below to save your seat in the virtual room and then drop in on the day using the details below. \n\n  \n\nCan’t make it this time?  Tell us about the topics you’re interested in and we’ll be in touch as soon as the events are scheduled in!

SUMMARY:SFNV Impact Forum: Food & Nutrition Security
DESCRIPTION:SFNV Impact Forums are one-hour online seminars featuring Swiss and international experts that delve into the topics behind our Impact Platforms. \nWhy attend?\nIn just 60 minutes you’ll hear the latest insights from four expert speakers and then share knowledge and explore synergies with other attendees in our quick-fire Q&A session. \nWhat?\nZero Hunger by 2030: that was the target of Sustainable Development Goal 2. Despite the looming deadline\, in global terms we are far from reaching that aim. One in 11 people worldwide went hungry in 2023\, with the number rising to 1 in 5 in Africa. Globally\, we have seen an alarming rise since the last decade. With the global population forecast to reach 8.5 billion by the 2030 deadline and then keep rising\, the issue is set to become all the more pressing. \nGoing beyond hunger\, the amount of food available isn’t the only thing at stake. Ensuring everyone can eat a nutritionally complete diet is crucial too. In 2030\, projections indicate that 582 million people will be chronically undernourished\, causing a wide range of serious health problems. As a result\, in 2023\, almost 29% of the world’s population was classed as being moderately or severely food insecure. And as the drivers causing food & nutrition insecurity are intensifying and becoming more frequent\, charting a path to security is becoming ever more pressing. \nThis session will explore the role that processed food can play in feeding the world. \nWho?\nThe session will be led by Katarzyna (Kash) Winek\, Head of Innovation Scaling & Global Engagement\, a passionate advocate for food system sustainability. She’ll be joined by three expert speakers from the Valley’s ecosystem. We’ll share more details here as speakers are confirmed. \nWould you like to join us?\nJust RSVP below to save your seat in the virtual room and then drop in on the day using the details below. \n\n  \n\nCan’t make it this time?  Tell us about the topics you’re interested in and we’ll be in touch as soon as the events are scheduled in!

SUMMARY:Food Day @ETH Workshop: Ultra-Processed Foods: Myths\, Facts\, and Future Role
DESCRIPTION:Register HERE \nIn collaboration with Food Day @ETH: For researchers\, industry\, start-ups & investors with expert knowledge or interest in ultra-processed foods. \nThe debate over Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) often polarizes into two extremes: outright rejection of UPFs as harmful or full acceptance due to their practicality. During the interactive workshop around this complex issue\, experts will shed light on both aspects\, providing insights into the multifaceted nature of UPFs\, and participants will be encouraged to engage actively in the dialogue. \nKey questions that will be explored include: What are the scientific facts and misconceptions about the health impacts of UPFs? How can UPFs contribute to global food security\, and what risks do they pose? What regulatory frameworks are necessary to ensure their safe and ethical production and consumption? What drives the increasing consumption of UPFs\, and what strategies can be employed to promote healthier alternatives? Finally\, what innovations can make UPFs both healthier and more environmentally sustainable? \nThis workshop offers all the opportunity to collaboratively address the challenges and opportunities that UPFs present. The goal is to ensure equitable access to safe\, nutritious\, and affordable food while considering the broader implications for global food systems. Through thoughtful exploration of health\, regulation\, food security\, and innovation\, the workshop aims to advance understanding of the role of UPFs in our diets. \nRegister HERE
