Tackling global malnutrition requires a sustainable intensification of the food system based on higher yields and reduced food losses and waste. Recent research advancements and innovative technologies may contribute substantially to this goal, despite a gap existing between scientific evidence and public opinion. The workshop addressed, with a multidisciplinary approach combining hard and social scientists, the drivers of social perception and the strategies for risk-benefit analysis of innovation in the food system.

Combating malnutrition and foodborne diseases while protecting nature and restoring dignity to the planet’s most vulnerable populations requires a paradigm shift in research and technology transfer. Research centres and universities are constantly producing new scientific data. However, little of this information is transferred outside high-tech environments, often creating a further gap between the North and the South of the globe. This paradigm shift should be driven by younger scientists using a transdisciplinary approach. The webinar aimed to highlight the role of the younger generation of scientists in developing solutions for a sustainable food system, empowering their vision for the future on an international stage.
