In the heart of Abu Dhabi, the International Centre for Culinary Arts has become the stage for a groundbreaking competition aiming to transform food production. Judges are currently evaluating innovative food alternatives, including cell-based chicken, fermentation-derived chicken, and plant-based fish, as part of the XPrize Feed the Next Billion competition. This initiative, which began four years ago, seeks to encourage technological advancements in sustainable food production and address global hunger.
