In this series, we uncover a lot of oddities in our journey into the future of food. But no matter what kinds of food we hope to have in the future, one thing remains: we will be reliant upon our Earth to provide it. Sometimes that connection to the Earth is hidden under lab science and technological advancement, however, at some point in the journey to your future dinner plate, that food was reliant upon our natural world for energy, nutrients, and sunlight.  

And so that compels a simple question: With a rising global population and increased need for protein-rich foods, does our natural world have what it takes to provide those preferred future dinners? 

In this episode of Eating Tomorrow, we explore what it will take to produce the foods of the future. We take inventory of our already and soon-to-be endangered foods, investigate alternative farming techniques, and regenerative solutions. Don’t be surprised if you walk away with more ideas about what is possible even though the theme of this episode is about our present-day limits.  

What more is possible for the future of food if we acknowledge our limits?
