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.
