The first Science Bar of the season will take place on Thursday, January 23, with the theme “What does the future hold for our food?”

There will be more than 9 billion of us by 2050! This poses a real challenge for the future of global food security, which must address two major issues: population growth and environmental protection.
To meet its food needs, humanity will have to reduce meat consumption, transform agricultural production methods, and develop new agro-economic models.
From insects to urban agriculture, algae, and lab-grown meat, new trends are already emerging to change the way we eat.
This science-society debate brings together three speakers:
=>Sandrine Dury, Research Director in Food Consumption Economics at CIRAD, Deputy Director of CIRAD’s Environment and Societies Department.
=>Stéphane Guilbert, Professor of Food Science at Sup’Agro Montpellier.
=>Ariane Sultan, Professor at Montpellier University Hospital, Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology, and Nutrition
