# Event Details - **Event Name**: Swindon Science Cafe - Food Futures; the case of cultivated meat - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 02 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 02 Dec, 2025 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join the discussion on how we build a more equitable and sustainable food system, and what the future of meat production might look likeAbout this EventJoin us for an informal evening of discovery and discussion, with Dr. Atenchong Talleh Nkobou – Senior lecturer in International Rural Development, Royal Agricultural University.Livestock production contributes to 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and is associated with animal welfare concerns. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between red meat consumption and the rise in non-communicable diseases globally. Here lies one of the many contradictions in cultivated meat research and development, i.e., the need to mitigate GHG emissions and animal cruelty, and the continued production of meat due to increasing demand. These challenges are transnational and planetary, requiring more critical and nuance debates in research and innovation. What does the future of meat production look like? How can we design a more equitable and fair food system future? Join the discussion as we aim to explore some of these questions. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/f2d685d0-9521-11f0-bd3d-c172f57c4c49-rimg-w701-h740-dcd4dcf5-gmir.jpg Dr. Atenchong Talleh Nkobou – Senior lecturer in International Rural Development, Royal Agricultural University.
