What the food is Clim-Eat doing in fashion?🤔 As you may know, #food and #fashion overlap when it comes to sustainability. Central themes like circularity, traceability, and innovation repeat themselves for both. Food and Fashion are not, then, just expressions of style and taste but also symbiotic symbols for environmental stewardship and social responsibility. In their pursuit of sustainability, either can learn from the other what works, what doesn't, and where we can join forces. With that, we are absolutely delighted to officially announce our Forward Food & Fashion event taking place during New York Climate Week on September 26th! 🎉 In collaboration with Barnard College and Columbia Climate School, this event will convene those fighting for a better tomorrow from each sector, bridging the gap between the aisles. Fighting for the climate in each of our corners won't cut it; it's time to come together. Are you interested in sustainable food and fashion? This event is open to the public! So, #savethedate and stay tuned for more 👀

In the last few days, we have shared insights on how players in #foodsystems can unlock private-sector innovation. In our highlighted domains of plant nutrition, sustainable livestock, and next-generation crops, we have, in collaboration with the Bezos Earth Fund, identified 30 promising technologies that may truly transform our food systems: https://lnkd.in/e8VWaZwF. The pathways we have investigated to unlock private-sector innovation are at the forefront of Clim-Eat’s journey to unleash the hidden potential of these key players in food- and ag-tech. 🎯 As our innovation project progresses, Clim-Eat will utilise these lockpicks to further the development of these domains. We are happy to be a leading convener for bright minds with bright ideas for the future of food. Stay tuned for what’s to come 👀 🌱
