Episode 29: Building Better Nutrition: A Systems View on Innovation, Sustainability & Functionality In Partnership with PFX Biotech
In this episode of the PPTI Podcast, leading voices from science, investment, and innovation discuss how systems thinking can reshape the future of nutrition. The conversation explores why moving beyond siloed approaches is essential to developing food solutions that are not only nutritious but also sustainable, scalable, and commercially viable.
The panel examines the growing role of precision fermentation, the need for new standards and metrics to build trust, and how sensor technologies and digital tools are improving production efficiency. They also discuss the potential of bioactive ingredients to deliver functional health benefits – from gut support to immune modulation – and what investors look for when backing early-stage ventures in this fast-evolving field.
Throughout the discussion, collaboration emerges as a unifying theme, highlighting the importance of aligning science, technology, regulation, and consumer expectations to accelerate the transformation of global food systems.
