2021 saw a strange and short-lived celebrity phenomenon. Out of nowhere, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr, Katy Perry, Serena Williams and other A-listers announced personal investments in plant-based foodtech startups alongside venture capital funds and philanthropists. They were on a mission to save the planet, and the hype was real. It was part of a huge uptick of interest in the neo-meat category; Beyond Meat launched a spectacular IPO. Oatly spent gazillions on a Superbowl TV spot — “Wow, no cow”. Supermarkets cleared shelf space for plant-based burgers, sausages and mince, and fast-fo...

Rasmus Munk has teamed up with Florida-based startup Space Perspective to launch six diners at a time up to the outer atmospheric layer where they will be served a freshly made dinner by the 33-year-old Michelin-starred chef. The missions will take place on Spaceship Neptune and are anticipated to start in late 2025. Munk’s menus will be based on the theme of space exploration, he says. “We want to tell stories through the food,” the chef explains. “We … want to talk and highlight some of the research that’s been done through the last 60 years.” Breaking bread: French bakers take back their ti...

As we try to strike a balance between the challenges of tackling climate change, promoting healthy diets and enabling farmer livelihoods, one thing is clear: sustainable agriculture is the only way forward. These three major challenges encompass the three dimensions of sustainability — social, environmental, and economic. The key question is, are we doing enough? Despite significant recent advances, there is clearly a lot more that remains to be done. It is evident that we need the European Union's support to boost food security, address important challenges within the agricultural sector, and...

From your mirepoix to your mise en place; from the Michelin Guide to the five mother sauces: French cuisine has long been held as the pinnacle of gastronomy. Some consider France to be home to the best food on the planet. For centuries, aspiring chefs from around the world have flocked to its cooking schools like Le Cordon Bleu in Paris to be trained to the high standards of French gastronomy. But now facing growing competition and criticism of having tired, unimaginative menus, President Emmanuel Macron’s government wants to send the country's chefs abroad to learn from the rest of the world....

On several mornings this spring, Brussels' European Quarter woke up to the sound of giant tractors honking loudly, with tonnes of soil and manure dumped around street corners, and bonfires blocking important crossroads. It wasn't exactly the cosy atmosphere that European bureaucrats are used to. This spectacular roadshow was set up by farmers representing small and big farms across Europe to highlight their everyday struggles to make a decent living from their almost 24/7 work shifts to produce our food. Unfortunately, in no time, their legitimate demands for fair incomes got heavily instrumen...

Demand for octopus as food has grown significantly in recent decades. Yet with concerns around overfishing restricting the number of wild octopuses caught, businesses have been researching how they can farm them. Crucially, octopuses are naturally solitary animals who will inevitably suffer in farm conditions. Confined in cramped indoor tanks of water, these intelligent, unique and sentient wild animals would cause them immense distress, causing aggression, and ultimately even cannibalism. They are also carnivorous, meaning they need to be fed wild fish in captivity — an unsustainable practice...

It’s not a secret that farmers and the agricultural sector are facing a huge number of overlapping environmental crises right now. Temperature change, increasingly extreme weather events, and accelerating natural disasters threaten crop yield, soil health, the length of growing seasons, and general productivity. These changes necessarily have profound economic effects on individual farmers and the industry at large, and that reality is only compounded by the needs of a growing global population that must be fed. Farms and farming are an integral part of a far-reaching climate solution, but the...

From lagers and blonds to lambics, there is a wide range of different beers to choose from. But could artificial intelligence (AI) help predict if a specific beer recipe will be appreciated by consumers before they even try it? A team of scientists at KU Leuven, a university in Belgium, say that it can. The researchers gathered a trained tasting panel of 16 people and asked them to try 250 commercial beers of 22 different styles such as lagers, blonds, and stouts. Participants rated the beverages on 50 attributes, including different hop, malt, and yeast flavours, off-flavours and spices. Rese...
