What the Future: Food

As climate change and technology shape how we produce our food, so too are we developing new ways to procure and consume it. Meanwhile, the pandemic upended many habits. Thankfully, solutions exist which we talk about at the Summit.

Climate change, population and workplace shifts, and continued inequality are stressing our food systems and our ability to afford the food we need. Matt Carmichael, editor of the award-winning foresight magazine, What the Future, shares insights from our latest issue exploring Food, illustrating how robot food farming to food scientists are working to solve those challenges.
