    The Future of Youth with Fisayo Oyewale, Senior Youth Foresight Fellow at UNICEF

    Children and young people have been a driving force for change throughout history. It makes sense therefore that they should also be deeply involved in imagining the future – their future, our future, the future of the planet, and that their absence from foresight and decision making spaces greatly hinders our capacity to anticipate how the world is changing. In this episode we sit down with Fisayo Oyewale. Fisayo is an agriculturist, a Futurist, and a Facilitator working at the intersection of agriculture, technology, youths, and futures. As a foresight practitioner, she uses strategic foresight methodologies to rethink Africa’s futures in data governance, food systems, youth engagement, and artificial intelligence for development. She is a UNICEF Youth Foresight Senior Fellow, a 2021 Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneur, a Young Africa Leadership Initiative RLC Fellow, and one of 100 delegates at the Global Youth Agriculture Summit 2021. Fisayo, along with several other fellows was responsible for putting together the recent UNICEF Youth Foresight Playbook which was launched at the Dubai Future Forum 2023.   This episode was recorded at the Dubai Future Forum, the world’s largest gathering of futurists organized by Dubai Future Foundation.

    The Future of Dairy with Christian Poppe, General Manager APAC at Formo

    We live on Earth at a time known as the Holocene. A time when atmospheric conditions have created the most beautiful balance of biodiversity ever known. Right now though, we literally consume our planetary boundaries. Food is in the middle of it all. It causes a third of all global emissions, chugs away 70% of our annual freshwater, and has simply zero respect for our planet. The system needs rebooting. In this episode we hear from Christian Poppe who at the time of recording was Director Global Public Affairs & Sustainability but is now General Manager APAC for Formo. They are one of Europe’s top early-stage biotech food business that is revolutionising the dairy industry, their promise, animal free dairy without compromise on taste and quality.    This episode was recorded at the Dubai Future Forum, the world’s largest gathering of futurists organized by Dubai Future Foundation.
