Beyond the Binary: Constructive Conversations on the Future of Protein

​Food has become one of the most polarized topics in sustainability. Too often, conversations are framed as either/or: plants versus animals, local versus global, technology versus nature. But building resilient food systems requires moving beyond these siloed narratives toward holistic solutions grounded in science, transparency, and constructive dialogue.

Join Regen House for an interactive content session and reception that brings together diverse voices with expertise across agriculture, nutrition, climate, and food innovation. Through facilitated "lightning chats," live audience interaction, and open discussion, participants will explore some of the most debated questions about the role of animal-source foods in the future of food systems. Rather than a binary debate, this session seeks more productive dialogue on ensuring the nutrient-dense food we need achieves the goals we share for healthy people, healthy ecosystems, and healthy communities. Come ready to challenge assumptions, share perspectives, and help shape a more constructive conversation about the future of food.
