JAKARTA, KalderaNews.com – The Green Food Contest is a competition for students who have finished their undergraduate studies from six countries in the Southeast Asia region: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The competition aims to engage students who want to apply their scientific strengths to one of the key sustainability issues facing the food industry: finding plant-based alternatives in relation to mitigating the impact of the current (animal-based) food system. Participants in the competition will have to submit a research proposal with a focus on solving a relevant problem in this field.
Plant-based food refers to plant-based meat, seafood, eggs, and diary. The interest for plant-based alternatives to animal-based food production is driven by the realization that animal-based food production comes with high costs in terms of sustainability.
