(Free admission subject to availability)

The first Science Bar of the season will take place on Thursday, January 23 on the theme "What future for our food?"

There will be over 9 billion of us by 2050! This represents a real challenge for the future food supply of mankind, which must meet two major challenges: population growth and environmental protection.
To meet our food needs, we'll have to cut back on meat consumption, evolve our agricultural production methods and develop new agro-economic models.
From insects to urban agriculture, seaweed to in vitro meat, new trends are already emerging to change the way we eat.
This science-society debate brings together three speakers:
=>Sandrine Dury, Director of Research 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, Endocrinology, Diabetology and Nutrition Department.
