Why is cultural neuroscience relevant to the debate on the future of food? Follow three members of an international team dedicated to neuroscience and food, as they explore the deep implications of food on brain functioning, emotions and human identity. An evolutionary journey which has now come to a crucial stage in history: can we save human cultural and emotional identity while revolutionising the way we eat? Future food systems can save the planet, but how to make them Human appears to be a challenge that ultimately can make the difference between erasing our memory as a species… and erasing the species all together. Cultural neuroscience will have a growing influence on this dilemma, ultimately offering an unprecedented deep dive in our relationship with Nature through Food. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Perché la neuroscienza culturale giocherà un ruolo importante nel futuro dell’alimentazione? Tre voci di un team internazionale che si occupa di neuroscienze e cibo ci guidano alla scoperta dell’influenza del cibo sul funzionamento del cervello, le nostre emozioni e la nostra identità di umani. Un viaggio evolutivo che è giunto ad un bivio fondamentale: possiamo salvare l’identità culturale ed emotiva degli umani mentre rivoluzioniamo completamente i nostri sistemi alimentari? I futuri food system possono salvare il Pianeta, ma la sfida è quella di di renderli davvero umani, a rischio di dover scegliere tra cancellare la nostra memoria di specie … o cancellare l’intera specie! La neuroscienza culturale avrà una enorme influenza su questo dilemma, offrendo una possibilità senza precedenti di esplorare in profondità la relazione che abbiamo con la Natura per il tramite del Cibo. Questo intervento è stato presentato a un evento TEDx che utilizza il format della conferenza TED, ma è stato organizzato in maniera indipendente da una comunità locale. Dhyana Menon is passionate about understanding the interplay between conscious and unconscious processing during multisensory food experiences. As the Technical Account Manager, she strives towards extracting credible Neuro-scientific findings about human behaviour by designing research protocols that provide meaningful insights within the F&B industry. Golnoosh Mahdavi is Director of Innovation, she applies her prior experience as a behavioral neuroscience researcher and professional cook to guiding the team’s overarching research directions on the physiological intersections of food, emotions, and culture. A rather interesting hybrid creature, part philosophy graduate and part entrepreneur, Mario Ubiali has successfully created and run small innovative global companies since 2002. Today he is the happy CEO of Thimus, where he is heavily involved in mentoring a very talented pool of people, spearheading new visions and enjoying the thrill of a trip towards the unknown.

This richly moving, dynamic, wisdom-packed panel will shift your thinking about the role of business in creating a just, equitable, zero carbon future for humanity and all life on Earth. In commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) principles, the inaugural B Corp Global Climate Summit (June 29-30 & July 1, 2021), seeks to evolve the business sector’s collective understanding and practice of Climate Justice and its commitment to human-centered, justice-driven approaches to climate action. With the aim of centering those on the frontlines of climate justice work and those whose lived experiences are most proximate to the challenges at hand, Summit conveners invited a select group of climate justice leaders from around the world to share their views on several key issues about the role of business in taking concrete climate action centered in justice. Their conversation focused on four key questions: 1) What is the most important thing for the business community to understand about the impacts of climate change on your community? 2) Where should the business community be focusing its energy in working on climate justice? 3) What is the action businesses could take that would have the greatest positive impact for your community? (Around climate justice?) 4) What do you want to say to businesses that are working on climate justice?

Why making plant-based burgers bleed is key to saving the planet | Gustav Johansson | TEDxMalmö

In the last decade the plant-based food sector has exploded and today you can buy plant-based meats and dairies in most supermarkets. Still, most people still prefer real meat if they are given an

In the last decade the plant-based food sector has exploded and today you can buy plant-based meats and dairies in most supermarkets. Still, most people still prefer real meat if they are given an option, simply because they think it is tastier, easier, and more available. But would they still feel the same if there wasn't a taste difference between meat and plant-based alternatives? And what would you say if I said that that shift has already been made? In this talk and cook-along, the chef Gustav Johansson that runs Sweden's largest vegan food blog makes a case for why making plant-based meats and dishes that mimic the animal-based versions as close and as good as possible is the key to making a swift and forceful shift towards a more sustainable diet. His argument? A burger and a shake. The gastronaut and politics nerd, Gustav Johansson, writes about vegetarian food made easy and tasty. Not only is he an accomplished cookbook author but he has received several prestigious media awards. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
