Energy & Food: a look into the future

In the next decade factors like climate change, overpopulation and conflicts will force the food system to change drastically. This creates opportunities for innovation and sustainable use of natural resources. In this event we will look into the future with experts in this field and explore what Iceland has to offer. We will address questions like what future food production will look like, which role renewable energy will play, and what the investment ecosystem aroundfuture food production will look like.
