FOOD SECURITY AND FOOD OF THE FUTURE

Progress in the development of agricultural and food technologies follows several trends, from the production of organic food to the use of substitutes for traditional animal and plant-based proteins. A great example of this is Russia, currently experiencing a true agricultural boom—from modernizing thousands of existing complexes to establishing new enterprises and unique products. Modern agro-industrial complexes and food processing enterprises are a far cry from the Soviet-era collective and state farms familiar from old TV programs. Worldwide, agriculture and food processing have evolved into high-tech industries, driving rapid advancements across all sectors. What, then, does the food of the future look like? This is the question participants of the international round table will try to answer.
