Global Food Summit: Protein and natural antibiotics from lobster shells

Lobsters, shrimps, crabs - their meat is considered a delicacy by many people. But the edible part of the animals is in stark disproportion to the amount of residue left over from the preparation, the hard, indigestible shells. Worldwide, between six and ten million tons of these are produced annually. Waste? Not at all. Rather, it is a valuable raw material that is still largely lost unused. Professor Thomas Brück from the Technical University of Munich plans to speak at the next Global Food Summit in Munich in March about new ways to recover this treasure.

Interview with Dr. Susanne Kadner, Head of the Circular Economy Initiative, acatech

Digitisation will change agriculture. For the first time in history, there is the possibility that closed production and waste circles will create a "circular food economy".
Innovations and artificial intelligence make it possible to implement a closed-loop concept in food production, manufacturing and resource processing that was previously unthinkable.
What are the opportunities and risks in this field and what role will artificial intelligence (AI) play in agriculture?

We asked Dr. Susanne Kadner, head of the Circular Economy Initiative's office at acatech, about this topic and found out what she is most looking forward to at the Global Food Summit 2020.

The Global Food Summit organizes the HORIZONTE magazine publication event together with the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech).

Publication of the third edition of acatech HORIZONTE "Sustainable Agriculture".

Resource-conserving innovations are necessary to secure our food supply in the future as well. The topic of sustainable agriculture in its ecological, economic and social dimensions is therefore the subject of the new acatech publication HORIZONTE, and the discussion event in cooperation with the Global Food Summit in Munich on 3 December 2019.

It will be discussed to what extent the dimensions of sustainable agriculture influence each other and which conflicts of objectives can arise. The aim is to discuss levers that each individual actor can use to ensure greater sustainability. In addition, the potential of various (modern) methods that can efficiently support us in achieving sustainable agriculture will also be presented.
