Secretary-General for the Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet, Satya Tripathi, will headline this year’s AltProteins 24 conference on 10 October. Tripathi joins more than 40 speakers from around the world coming to Melbourne to discuss future food systems and alternative proteins.
Satya Tripathi has worked for the UN around the world for more than two decades. Most recently he was UN Assistant Secretary-General, Head of New York Office at UN Environment and Secretary of the UN Environment Management Group.
Food Frontier said, “With global food systems at the forefront of climate change and responsible for between one-quarter and one-third of all global greenhouse gas emissions, finding sustainable and innovative solutions is imperative. Mr Tripathi’s presentation will shed light on the urgent need for collaborative action.”
There will be more than 40 speakers at this year’s conference, from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Brazil, Sweden, Hong Kong, Singapore, The Netherlands, the US, and Germany.
With experts and pioneering researchers sharing their latest success stories and insights about alternative proteins, it is a must-attend for anyone interested in the sector.
The think tank said there will be a focus on building sustainable food systems it will feature a debate on catalysing food as a central climate change issue and showcase some of the most impactful initiatives that are driving industry growth.
The Victorian Government – through support from Agriculture Victoria, Global Victoria and Invest Victoria – is the lead sponsor of AltProteins 24. Global Victoria will lead an interactive workshop on entering international markets, with a focus on the APAC region.
Food Frontier CEO, Dr Simon Eassom, said, “Now in its third year, AltProteins 24 will tackle the challenges and opportunities in the alternative protein sector across the breadth of the plant-based meat, cell cultivation, and precision fermentation industries.
“We are excited to welcome a diverse array of international speakers to Australia, including Satya Tripathi. Alternative proteins are essential for meeting the rising demand for low-emissions protein sources whilst addressing the requirements of an increasing global population. Australia, New Zealand, and Asia are uniquely positioned to meet this demand.”
Agriculture Victoria deputy secretary, Beth Jones, commended Food Frontier for organising an exciting program on an important topic.
“As the world demand for protein increases and consumers explore new protein sources, Victorian producers and businesses can capitalise and forge their own path in the alternative protein sector.
“Through the AltProteins Conference, Food Frontier is leading the way when it comes to educating Australians on the opportunities the industry presents, and we are proud to support the conference in 2024,” Jones said.
Food Frontier’s AltProteins 24 is on Thursday October 10 at Sofitel on Collins in Melbourne.
