PROGRAM Day 1 | March 20, 2019 ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Milk without cows, egg white without chicken, meat without cattle and vegetables without arable land – the agriculture of the future will not happen in stables, or fields but in urban food laboratories right in the heart of our cities. Powered by SDG 2030, the global metropolises have become the crucial turbine rooms of the knowledge-based society and therefore our knowledge-based economy. Cities attract young, highly specialised professionals as well as investors. Will the future food production follow this trend and move its focus from the countryside to cities?

“We are modern farmers. Our fields are located in the heart of the city.” This credo is the guiding principle of the new, urban “farmers”: urban fishermen, farmers or livestock breeders. They are biotechnologists, come from IT companies, or right from the university. They are the “game changers” for new ways of living and social transformation, including the question of what and how we will eat tomorrow.

Day 2 | March 21, 2019 ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Natural, rural resources seem to count less and less, while knowledge-based urban occupations for highly specialised professionals attract the young generations. Terms tightly connected to agriculture and nature in the past – like soil quality, light, water, fertilizer or sustainability – experience entirely new dimensions because of urban farming and urban livestock keeping. What sounds like science fiction is already a reality today, even in Germany. Prawns bred in saltwater tanks in Munich, insect burgers from Osnabrück or tomato-fish from aquaponic systems in Berlin are some examples. How will these changes influence our ideas of traditional rural job profiles, of nature, of food overall? 09.00 am WELCOME Stephan Becker-Sonnenschein | Head & Founder of the Global Food Summit 09.05 am OPENING SPEECH

SDG 2030 drives the innovative spirit of entire generations. Investors are counting on the successful future of this "creative class". Supplying cities self-sufficiently with regional, untreated products, which are industrially and sustainably produced in closed cycles, creates new solutions. This changes the established value chain and brings about structural change in agriculture, trade and industry. This development is being taken up worldwide and taken into account in urban planning right from the start.

........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

In Europe, 75% of the population already lives in cities. Knowledge of nature and nutrition seems to be diminishing. Or is a new understanding emerging that is made possible by new technologies in an urban knowledge society? Vertical farms, floating stables, breeding banks for insects, meat fibre and fish fibre breeding; urban production facilities will produce state-of-the-art food in the future. What innovations are we contributing from Europe to the process?
