Abstract
Description
At this session of The Conversation Series, Varun Deshpande, Managing Director, The Good Food Institute India, and Professor Ravi Miglani, Professor of Practice of Management, Amrut Mody School of Management, Ahmedabad University, discuss ‘Feeding 10 Billion: How Smart Protein Can Transform Food Systems For A Bold New World’. They address questions such as 'How can we feed a growing population, through systems that do not negatively impact climate, biodiversity, and scarce natural resources?' The current food system has led to food insecurity, zoonotic diseases, pressure on rainforests, water scarcity, and climate crisis. The world needs a more sustainable food system; a radical rethink of legacy systems. Meat as the dominant source of protein, and the industrial system for meat production, is an ecological disaster happening in slow motion. Alternative ‘smart’ protein sources are needed.
