The Wire

Food sustainability has traditionally kept up with population growth through advances in technology.

In Australia, the IPCC report estimates greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture and land use sector account for 13 per cent of the total, coming in behind stationary energy and transport.

Plugging renewable energies into the grid could tackle emissions and solve the energy crisis but when it comes to food, we need new, healthy and sustainable solutions.

Innovations such as cultured meat could solve several problems at once.
