We are what we eat – The future of food

Food is a topic that is both deeply personal and of global importance. What we eat affects our health and longevity, but also the lives of animals and the future of our planet.
New technologies and scientific discoveries are now enabling us to transform how we produce food and personalize nutrition in entirely new ways.
In this episode, Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow speak with food expert and CEO of Berlin Food Campus, Lia Carlucci, about key trends shaping the future of food—from alternative proteins to personalized nutrition.
