Workshop, 1 September 2023, ISARA, Lyon, France
Organized by INRAE, AFZ and CSIRO. Sponsored by the OECD Co-operative Research Programme Sustainable Agricultural and Food Systems
How can agricultural systems for food and feed shape a sustainable future? The world is facing unprecedented challenges: climate change, population growth, and dietary shifts are putting pressure on our natural resources and food security. How can we feed the planet with enough protein without compromising the environment and human health? The workshop showcased the latest scientific and technological innovations that can help transform our agricultural systems into more sustainable and resilient ones. It covered topics such as plant-based protein sources, animal feed efficiency, alternative protein production methods, and the ethical and societal implications of these new technologies.
