Crop Innovation & Business Meet Up: Into the Blue zone, Plant secrets for Healthy Living
2018-09-19 13:00 - 18:30 UTC | Keygene, Agro Business Park 90. 6708 PW Wageningen, Wageningen, Netherlands
Blue Zones are regions of the world where people live much longer than average. These zones are spread around the world. It was discovered that the people inhabiting these zones share lifestyle characteristics that contribute to their longevity, one of them being a plant-based diet.
During the CROP Innovation & Business Meet-up on September 19th latest insights will be shared about blue zone living by Michel Poulain, first to discover the blue zones, plant-based innovations and the impact on our health in an open innovation climate with amongst others Rob Hamer, Unilever, John Apesos, GrowX and pitches by KeyGene of their most promising crop developments.

Seeds & Chips
2018-05-07 - 2018-05-10 | MICO – MILANO CONGRESSI, GATE 3, MICO MILANO CONGRESSI, GATE 3, Milano, Italy
The leading Food Innovation Summit in the world, May 7-10, 2018. Milano (Italy).
Food innovation concerns the whole food chain, from farm to fork: the increasing world population and protein consumption, climate change, scarcity of available resources, socio-demographic changes, protection of health and irreversible and overt changes in the processes of choice and purchase are all important to food innovation. We are changing the ways in which food is produced, processed, distributed, communicated and consumed. Never before in history has man faced challenges so urgent and never before has he had access to the technological infrastructure to address them, and still there remains so much potential to be discovered.
