Kea Inspire & SingularityU New Zealand: The Future of Food – Christchurch

When: 7:30-9am, Friday 12 May

Where: The Canterbury Club , 29 Cambridge Terrace

Tickets: $50, available here.

What is the true potential value of the New Zealand food sector? Where are the opportunities around technology and R&D, and what is the global impact our food technology sector can create?

Our speakers will discuss why we need to challenge the current paradigm of the global food ecosystem, and how New Zealand can take advantage of these opportunities to make a global impact. They will also look at our philosophies around the origin of food – how we grow, cook, eat and share it, and shift our mindsets around the future of food – from organic farm-fresh ethically sourced produce, to bio or genetically-engineered food.

Speakers include Andrew Priest, Jade Temepara and Lauder Erasmus.
