Reflections on Northern Lights on Food: "It’s clear that interest in this area is building, there’s a real push to understand food to make it better."

A radical transformation of the food system is needed to provide a healthy, sustainable and affordable diet for all people. Research and development into how food can become more nutritious, taste better, and use less resources, have a key role to play.

What is the future of food? Stephen Hall on LINXS’ involvement in Northern Lights on Food

The conference Northern Lights on Food takes place 26-27th March. It will gather some of Sweden and Denmark’s biggest food companies for a discussion on how to improve the taste and texture of food, increase its health benefits and lower its climate impacts – all with the help of neutron and x-ray science. They are invited by MAX IV, LINXS and RISE.
