Martin Vetterli

Our planet’s resources are under enormous pressure. A swelling global population coupled with geopolitical and social tensions is fueling climate change, whittling away biodiversity and challenging modern lifestyles […] We must act now to redesign the world’s food systems – how we produce, process, ship and buy the food we eat – to make them more ecologically responsible.

Martin Vetterli, President of EPFL
