THE FUTURE: WHAT WE EAT & WEAR IN 2051
Welcome Address
PLANT BASED INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN INDIA
From 2020 to 2027, the plant-based food market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.9 percent, reaching $74.2 billion. Which disruptions will have the greatest impact on India? Which product category is expected to dominate the market? Is it possible for an Indian vegan company to go public? This talk focuses on the future of food and material trends in the Indian and Asian markets.
THE PROTEIN REVOLUTION: WHO IS DRIVING THE CHANGE
Meat, poultry, and dairy analogues are becoming increasingly popular in India. But who are the end users of these products, and what do they want? Celebrities who are flexitarians or a woke consumer with a consistent purchasing pattern? Gandhian ideals, religious sentiments, or dietary restrictions. What is India's current position, and who will lead this revolution in the future?
Using india's rich agriculture heritage to fuel disruptions in plant based space
DOES INDIA HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND RESOURCES FOR CELL-BASED AND FERMENTED FOODS?
The newest government initiatives, breakthrough studies, R&D, and consumer acceptability of cell-based foods are all being pursued globally. How will India fare on this journey? We discuss the operational initiatives led by institutions, individual complemented by legislative and government-led incentives, coordinated research and development of infrastructure.
What will we be eating in 2051?
Environmental pressures and economic drivers such as the rising costs of water, land and other inputs are stimulating growing interest in eco-efficient production of meat, dairy, poultry and seafood analogues. These minimise resource consumption, pollution and are ethically driven. In parallel, the whole food plant based movement is gaining momentum unraveling the breakthroughs of natural living. India (Bharat) is recognised as a powerhouse for 'Satvic Living'. How does the future look like for India- Will plant based meats be relevant once price parity for lab grown meat analogues is achieved? Will the next disruption be cell based meat consumption or creating self-sustained bio systems? Will people be ambivalent about this?
DO HYBRID FOODS WORK?
Insect protein or clean label? Processed alternatives or wholesome substitutes? A combination of seafood with plant protein or plant based spreads with 'ghee'. What is the future of hybrid foods and does it have a target audience?
