Science, Sustainability, and the Future of Food
Ever wondered how to reconcile your love for meat with your love for the planet? Or how our global food system will realistically satisfy and nourish the world's rapidly growing population? Join Natalie Kindred, Senior Researcher at Harvard Business School's Agribusiness Department, and Pat Brown, CEO and Founder of Impossible Foods, for a lively Q&A discussion on science, entrepreneurship, and the defense of food culture, justice, and sustainability. Come curious and hungry.
The discussion will be followed by a reception at Clover Food Lab from 4:30-6pm, featuring their newest menu item, made with Impossible Burger.
