Club of Amsterdam presents:
The future of Food & Biotech
28 October, 2003, 18:30-22:15
Thanks to new technology the food industry promises to provide healthy, safe food, reliably, cheaply and in large quantities. But aren't safety and a guarantee of quality the very least that modern society can expect? Is the future of food a future of global markets and economies of scale or is there room for local produce, seasonality and variation? What can science do to make the good food fun?
