How well do we really know our food? The answer is: not as well as we should. That’s why The Rockefeller Foundation is thrilled to support the The Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) and their mission to build the world's most in-depth global commons on food quality.   For the first time in history, advanced data, tools, and training resources will be accessible to a global ecosystem of partners to help map the full biomolecular composition of the planet’s edible biodiversity.   This effort can help transform food systems and alleviate society’s most pressing issues, including diet-related diseases, biodiversity loss, climate change, and malnutrition. You can read more about PTFI’s announcement and their research funding opportunities in my latest Reimagine The Future newsletter.
