Webinar: Advancing Low-Carbon Cereal-Based Food Production in Asia

Open Access Webinar on 22 May at 10 AM CEST (4 PM BKK)

Advancing Low-Carbon Cereal-Based Food Production in Asia: Innovations, Technologies and Policy Pathways

Innovations, Technologies, and Policy Pathways

Featuring Professor Anil Kumar Anal

Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand

How can Asia feed its growing population while reducing greenhouse gas emissions?

Cereal-based foods — including rice, wheat, and maize — are staples across Asia and essential to global food security. But producing these foods comes with a cost: significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture, processing, and packaging.

How can we rethink the cereal supply chain to make it more sustainable — without compromising food security or economic viability?

Join us for a webinar with Professor Anil Kumar Anal from the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), a leading expert in food innovation, nutrition, and sustainable food systems.

What to Expect

This timely webinar explores cutting-edge solutions for reducing the carbon footprint of cereal-based food production in Asia. Professor Anal will share insights from his research on:

  • Energy-efficient food processing technologies
  • Precision fermentation and alternative proteins
  • Smart packaging solutions to minimize waste
  • The role of automation, digital tools, and renewable energy in food manufacturing
  • Policy pathways and industry incentives to accelerate sustainable innovation

The presentation highlights how technological advancements must go hand-in-hand with smart policy frameworks and research collaborations to drive real change across the cereal supply chain.
