We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Brisbane free future of food event:
CSIRO will be showcasing novel (synthetic) foods, biotech and surveillance tech , futuristic farming (AI, Robotics, biosensors).
Anyone who wants to get abreast of where the CSIRO is pushing our food systems, please attend and let me know what is covered.
CSIRO have many relevant documents on the future of centralised, synthetic foods, including:
Australia's Synthetic Biology Roadmap
Edible Insects Roadmap
Australia's Protein Roadmap
Reshaping Australian Food Systems
On Farm Applications of Advanced Bioengineering
Ag 2050 Scenarios Report
The CSIRO uses the same excuse for the synthetic transformation of our food systems as was used to usher in the mono crop, chemical laden, GMO Green Revolution, "we must do this to feed the world" (SDG2) and they've added in for good measure "we must do this to save the climate" (SDG13).
Anyone concerned about non transparent synthetic food systems being implemented (protected by confidential commercial information- i.e. patented- we can't see the tech and processes used), nano tech, bio tech, surveillance, bio sensors etc., should be keeping a close eye on what the CSIRO is rolling out.
A close eye should also be kept on their venture capital firm, Main Sequence. Which "coincidentally" arose from a partnership between CSIRO and Bill Bartee. Bill is co-owner of venture capital firm Blackbird. The other partner of Blackbird is ex CSIRO CEO Larry Marshall. Blackbird partly funded the first lab meat that is going to be allowed in to the Australian market. Main Ventures funds many synthetic food start ups.
When Larry Marshall was CEO of CSIRO there was a controversy when he sacked climate scientists and said the science is settled and it was time to go to climate mitigation strategies. One climate mitigation strategy is synthetic food. It's a circular wheel, where those who benefit are pushing transformative changes to our food systems.

Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
