Hi Clare, nice big question! The big challenge as I see it is access to sufficient food for large parts of the world population/food security given global conflicts and climate change. Insufficient increases in yields from agriculture to cover population growth and have reserves for the bad harvest years. In part that comes from the tension between producing the maximum amount of food per hectare of land without destroying the soil and ecosystem that is producing that food. The opportunity is turning tech like precision fermentation into systems that produce food that people want to eat. Hope you're doing well!

Impact of climate change on food production; changing views on which foods are healthy including proactive prevention of disease, and economic impact for sustainable and ethical food production, particularly in developing nations

Hi Clare, For me it’s Ensuring all countries populations have sufficient to eat Ensuring what the more developed world eats is more natural and less processed Making the larger food companies more responsible for their actions

Agree with Jeya below -eradicating micronutrient deficiencies is the big one for me - these are rife in high, middle and low income communities & often totally ignored!

2moHi Clare - from a non-scientist perspective I would say it’s all about behaviour change - that’s the only thing that will make a difference. And to be able to encourage behaviour change we need to be: 1. Helping consumers understand - and then care - about what they are eating - what’s in it, where it’s sourced from, what it’s packaged in 2. Trying to get some sort of aligned message as to what is ‘good’ and what isn’t when it comes to diets etc - there’s so much misinformation, and differing information, who knows what to believe 3. Resolving the value equation - if we need to make better choices nutritionally and environmentally how can we make this affordable and accessible for all
