A social enterprise, Otolith advocates for circular ecosystems by demonstrating BSF and its multifaceted role in reducing carbon footprints through waste management while fostering sustainable agricultural production on a global scale.

From alternative proteins, urban agriculture, functional foods and side-stream valorisation, this culinary showcase will feature disruptive agrifood innovations that have the potential to address the challenges of food security, health and nutrition needs, and climate resilience. Attendees will also hear the trailblazers of Singapore's agrifood ecosystem on their market offerings, including Float Foods, Vitality Foods, and Mottainai Food Tech.
