At the World Food System Center exhibition, you can see films on current research projects via QR codes.
Many scientists at ETH Zurich conduct research on sustainable nutrition and sustainable food systems. Be it in the field of plant and animal breeding, sustainable food processing, human nutrition, but also agricultural economics and environmental policy. At the Meet the Scientist event, you will have the opportunity to learn about specific research projects at ETH and to exchange ideas directly with various scientists*.
Climate & Agriculture: Monday 4 April from 12:30-13:30
Where: at the market stand of the World Food System Center
Agriculture is a major contributor to CO2 emissions. In addition, intensive agriculture pollutes the soil and is partly responsible for the extinction of species. At the same time, food security must be guaranteed. Join researchers to discuss questions such as “What are the challenges and barriers to climate-friendly solutions in agriculture?” “Where are the opportunities for transforming the agricultural sector?”
Novel Proteins for Food and Feed: Tuesday 5 April from 12:30 - 13:30.
Where: at the market stand of the World Food System Center
How can we feed the world in 2050? In 2050, 9.1 billion people will live on Earth, 34 percent more than today. To feed this growing population, food production will need to increase by 70%. But how can this be done in a sustainable way? Algae and insects can be an answer. Scientists at ETH Zurich are developing innovative solutions to tap new sources of sustainable and nutritious proteins for human and animal nutrition.
Eine Veranstaltung des ETH Office of the President (ETH Sustainability und Community & Outreach) und der Abteilung Sicherheit, Gesundheit und Umwelt (SGU).
