Tomorrow's Bites with Andrés and Sjacco

What if the biggest obstacle to fixing our food system… is the money meant to support it?In this 8-minute episode, Dr. Dhanush Dinesh, founder of Clim-Eat, unpacks why traditional agricultural subsidies—currently totaling around $800 billion globally—are reinforcing outdated, unsustainable practices.But he doesn’t suggest scrapping them. Instead, he explains how these funds could be repurposed to reward positive environmental outcomes—like soil health and regenerative practices.We dive into a real-world example from Malawi, where farmers are paid based on soil improvement rather than fertilizer use, offering a glimpse at what smarter, impact-driven subsidy systems could look like.In just 8 min, we explore how rethinking subsidies could unlock a more fair, resilient, and sustainable food system.Listen to the full episode with Dr. Dhanush Dinesh ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👋 GET IN TOUCH WITH US👥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🌎⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📰 Read our ⁠⁠⁠⁠substack⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Every Sunday, a mini newsletter, readable in just 2 minutes with 1 marketing & communication trick, and 1 unmissable agrifood insight and 1 deep question for your own development)

Why don’t Western cultures embrace insects as food? Andrea Liceaga, professor at Purdue University, explains the historical and psychological reasons behind our aversion to insect consumption. She shares how ancient climates and colonization shaped our dietary norms, associating insects with disgust and pests.Yet, insects represent a powerful solution to global protein shortages—rich in nutrients, highly sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Andrea reveals that consumer acceptance significantly increases when insects are presented in familiar food forms, such as burgers, rather than visibly whole.In just 13 min, we uncover the reasons behind our fears and the incredible potential insects hold for our food future.Listen to the full episode with Andrea Liceaga⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👋 GET IN TOUCH WITH US👥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📸 Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🌎⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠📰 Read our ⁠substack⁠ (Every Sunday, a mini newsletter, readable in just 2 minutes with 1 marketing & communication trick, and 1 unmissable agrifood insight and 1 deep question for your own development)

Why do so many food innovations fail to create real impact? According to Sara Roversi, the biggest issue isn’t a lack of solutions, but a failure to think systemically. Millions are invested into single-point solutions—like lab-grown meat or plastic alternatives—without considering their economic, environmental, and social ripple effects. Future Food Institute was built to change that by shifting from profit-driven to prosperity-driven innovation, ensuring that new ideas benefit people, the planet, and communities alike. In just 8 minutes, we will uncover why food innovation requires a bigger-picture approach and how to do it well.
