‘Food Futurism’ as a conversation will bring together nutrition experts, food scientists, biologists, among others to help Indians better understand the basic science behind healthy nutrition and its role in food security and protein sufficiency.

Right to Protein, ahead of India’s third annual Protein Day celebration on 27th February, declares ‘Food Futurism’ as the theme for 2022 as it takes ahead its mission to drive food and especially protein sufficiency in the country through awareness, advocacy, and action. ‘Food Futurism’ as a conversation will bring together nutrition experts, food scientists, biologists, among others to help Indians better understand the basic science behind healthy nutrition and its role in food security and protein sufficiency.
 
The pandemic highlighted the need to “build back better” sustainably. The effects of global warming on agriculture, the inequality in access to food have further necessitated a paradigm shift in how one think about food. Emerging scientific innovations present us with a growing range of opportunities to transform the food and agriculture structures to fulfill the vision of a hunger-free India. Therefore, through this educative initiative, this year, Right to Protein will be initiating informed discussions and dialogues about the role of science and how methods such as genetically engineered foods can have in achieving food security. The discussions will address genuine concerns, misperceptions, and ‘GMO anxiety’ among other topics.

Since the inception of India’s first Protein Day in 2020, Right To Protein is all set to complete a treble, where like-minded citizens, nutritionists, food industry experts, chefs, and brands will come together to raise awareness and take a step towards making India a protein sufficient country through food science.
