The Green Apple: The Rise of Animal-free Foods

Live Show
Bonus material: In depth with Sonalie Figueiras
Over the next few decades, the human population will increase around a third to a peak of around 9 billion people. Societies are forecast to become wealthier, especially in the Asian region, driving a significant increase in the demand for protein. Without a shift to animal-free foods, agricultural demand will increase by around 70%. This is before any allowance for the prospective need to manufacture some hydrocarbons (such as plastics) from agricultural feedstocks.

Over the last few years, there has been an explosion in demand for animal-free foods, as more and more people adopt flexitarian and vegan diets. Technology is advancing rapidly, with a host of start-ups producing meat, fish, diary, cheese and even eggs from plants and fungi, as well as via cellular fermentation. Meanwhile, cities such as New York now have plant-forward agendas, playing a critical role in encouraging adoption of new diets.

In this special episode, we will explore questions such as:
  • What forces are driving the shift to animal-free diets?
  • What are the most important trends and technologies and how quickly are they moving?
  • How can cities play a role in supporting these shifts?

We'll be joined by:
  • Irina Gerry, Chief Marketing Officer of Change Foods
  • Sonalie Figueiras, Hong Kong-based Green Queen and publisher of The APAC Alternative Protein Report. ​​

The discussion will be led by your regular co-hosts Paul Herman (HIP Investor) and Nigel Lake (Pottinger).  As always, this episode will be live and interactive, with a particular focus on practical actions that businesses, governments and individuals can take -- and the economic and ecological benefits of doing so.
