    While humanity faces serious challenges such as global population growth, food shortages, and environmental impacts, food remains a source of happiness in daily life.
    To make food regenerative and accessible to all of humanity, discussions will focus on creating delicious, healthy, and environmentally friendly food and agriculture practices, with an overview of the entire supply chain.

    Comments from Speakers

    Food and agriculture are not only the sources of life but also the sources of happiness. However, in the context of the global population explosion, the sustainability of our planet is being threatened by food crises and global warming. Let us share our efforts towards innovation and mindset change with the world from Tokyo, involving startups, companies, governments, and consumers.

    Japan possesses "technology, skills, and culture" related to food that can be shared globally and contribute to the world. The evolution of food through "Food x Technology" as demonstrated by Japan, is attracting global attention, and expectations for Japan are increasing. We hope that SusHi Tech Tokyo 2025 will serve as a platform to showcase Japan's potential on a global scale.
