Event
in Leiden, the heart of bio-science and just 30 minutes outside Amsterdam.
With our planet’s resources under increasing pressure—70% of freshwater withdrawals go toward agriculture, 33% of the world’s arable land is used to feed livestock, and 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to livestock farming—it’s evident that our current food system is unsustainable. Already, over 800 million people go to bed hungry each night. As the global population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, the demand for protein is set to grow by 70% that same year.
To continue to feed the world’s population without destroying our planet, innovative solutions are not only desirable: they are critical to make sure can pass on our way of life to the next generations.
Event
This full-day event will address some of the most critical challenges of our time, including climate change, food security, and resource scarcity – and how cultivated meat can be part of the solution.
