We have a long way to go when it comes to fixing our food systems. That’s why challenges like the XPRIZE Feed the Next Billion competition exist. With a $15 million prize — and the chance to safeguard planetary health — on the table, the competition’s innovative solutions are aimed at meeting the growing global demand for protein in a just, sustainable way.
And this episode’s guest, Lisa Sweet, is a driving force behind the challenge, paving the way for the future of food. In conversation with our host, Varun Deshpande, Lisa lays out what it will take to feed 10 billion and how we can get this right.
While there are no silver bullets when it comes to solving our public health crises, environmental degradation, and climate change, Lisa emphasizes the immense potential that smart protein holds. Listen in to learn about how diversifying our protein supply can impact livelihoods, health, environment, and more.
