- Track III Welcome & Day 2 Opening - Dr. Anne Louise Dannesboe Nielsen, Danish Technological Institute
Prepare for an engaging welcome and opening as our track chair sets the stage for an insightful journey ahead
- From Seed to the Finished Product: translating targets of interests into plant protein genetics - Anker Sørensen, Key Gene
- Deploying Innovation: 3D Food Printing for Military Field Feeding - Dr. Jonathan Blutinger, US Army DEVCOM Soldier Center
The U.S. Army’s Combat Feeding Division (CFD) focuses on the research, development, and testing of combat rations and feeding logistics for Soldiers in the field. Food additive manufacturing (FAM) is being considered by the CFD for its potential to personalize nutrition, provide customized aesthetic expression, and support “untethered logistics.” This presentation will highlight several cases where the CFD is utilizing FAM to offer mobile feeding solutions to sustain Soldiers on the go.
- AI and Beyond in Sustainable Food Innovation - Christian Busse, Solution Architect
The presentation offers an in-depth look at artificial intelligence (AI), covering its development, what's happening now, and what we might see in the future. It thoroughly explains the basics of AI, like neural networks and machine learning, and goes on to discuss more complex topics such as how quantum computing could join forces with AI to bring about groundbreaking uses. Tying in personal experience, the presentation shows how AI is changing different areas, including healthcare, biotechnology, and efforts to protect the environment. Through examples and explanations, it aims to demystify AI, showcase its possibilities for new ideas, and encourage discussions about its ethical and practical effects in food innovation.
