There’s no question about it: Shifting our diets will have a huge positive impact. Alessandro Demaio is a medical doctor who grew up in Australia in a big Italian, food-loving family. He’s an expert on poverty, diseases, and nutrition, and he works closely with Gunhild Stordalen as EAT’s chief executive officer. His message is clear: «Meat produced in a way that is disrespectful to animals and bad for the planet has no place in the future of food». He talks about how the Planetary Health Diet can help feed everyone and save the planet. Almost one billion people wake up hungry every day and our ecosystem is in serious trouble. Do you take the challenge?

Chinese police walk around with AI glasses using facial recognition to spot wanted people. The same tool is used to find and bring home missing children. Meanwhile, we let big American companies build databases for facial recognition by giving our faces away online. The question is – what happens when hackers get access to your face and the rest of your data?
