The 3D-Printed Food Revolution
Could 3D printing be the future of food? While 3D printing has transformed design and manufacturing, its impact on the food industry is only just beginning. Revo Foods uses 3D printing technology to redefine the texture, taste, and sustainability of plant-based seafood and whole-cut proteins.
In this episode, Robin Simsa, CEO and founder of Revo Foods, shares his journey from biotech researcher to food-tech pioneer and discusses how his company is tackling one of the biggest challenges in the alternative protein industry - texture and mouthfeel. From developing plant-based salmon fillets to creating “Prime Cut” alternatives that don’t replicate animal products but stand on their own, Robin explores the next evolution of plant-based foods.

Policy, Power, and Conscious Leadership
The global food system is at a crossroads. While food and agriculture serve as economic backbones for many nations, they are also the leading contributors to biodiversity loss, climate change, and food insecurity. How do we transform this system to serve people and the planet better?
In this episode, Andrew Bovarnick, Global Head of Food and Agricultural Commodity Systems at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), joins hosts Matt Eastland and Lucy Wallace to discuss how governments, corporations, and farmers can work together to drive meaningful change.
Matt Eastland and Lucy Wallace present the Food Fight, a new series from EIT Food examining the biggest challenges facing the food system, and the innovations and entrepreneurs looking to solve them.
