Organizer: Tokyo Food Institute

Venue: CIC Tokyo

The Future Food Institute, founded in Italy in 2014, has been creating food innovation since its establishment. The “community” is formed by collaboration with large companies from around the world, and involves different industries. At the same time, the Institute promotes actions for a sustainable food future through the combined effects of three action areas: Education, Community Engagement, and Innovation.

Founder Sara Roversi said, “Food is at the center of sustainable efforts, and food innovation requires a new mindset. Instead of the human-centered innovations we have seen in the past, we need innovations that put humans and nature at the center.”

In this session, Alessandro Fusco of the Future Food Institute, who is visiting Japan from Italy, will talk about the innovations being promoted by the Future Food Institute, and about education, as represented by the Japanese version of the Food & Climate Shapers Boot Camps being held from April to May of this year.
