Our dynamic panel, hosted by ABC presenter Hilary Harper, will discuss food systems, waste, packaging experts and inventive cooks as they explore what we'll be eating in the future, and how food security, food sovereignty, nutrition and wellbeing are interconnected and dependent.
How can we eliminate food waste, recycle and extend food life, and secure food systems in the face of the climate emergency, a plastics dependence, and a tumultuous water-energy-food nexus? What does the future of food taste and smell like and who gets to decide what's put on our plates?
Learn what's simmering in food science, what's sizzling in food and packaging innovation, and rethink the main course on the dinner plates of the future.
