“Rethinking Food and Food Safety” explores the intersection of data science, genomics, and social sciences in food. With the world population set to reach 8 billion by 2024, it is imperative that we invent new ways to feed the world in a sustainable, safe and healthy manner.

The Food 2.0 LAB Paris, through a series of academic conferences and workshops, invites the world’s leading food and food safety experts representing academia, NGOs, regulatory bodies and food sector organizations, to redefine the scope of food safety and set the food safety agenda for the coming years. In the last decade, the meaning of food and the concept of food safety have profoundly evolved, due in large part to ground breaking advances in science, technology and society.

Our first academic Conference was held in Paris on October 4-5th, 2018. Scholars, food experts, entrepreneurs, policy makers, farmers and chefs from Europe and the world were present. With a common goal to meet the global food safety challenge, the event has created a forum for networking, debate, discussion and learning – showcasing the technologies and championing the innovations which have the potential to shape the future of food.
