CULT Food Science Corp has announced that its president, Lejjy Gafour, is scheduled to speak at the Future of Food at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2022, which is taking place in Austin, Texas at the SXSW Center on March 12 and 18, 2022.
CULT is a Discussion-level sponsor of the event and the Future of Food is a part of the Future Food Festival ATX, which includes the Conference on Food Resiliency, Access and Equity. Gafour's presentation at the festival may contain forward-looking information, it noted.
The festival is led by non-profit organizations and community leaders that are committed to creating a better future in the food industry. It aims to bring a multidisciplinary group of experts, diverse community members, and intergenerational innovative thinkers to embark on a week of presentations, discussions, collaborations and food.
Entrepreneurship, food resilience, food justice and security are just a few core themes that will be addressed at the festival. Other topics of interest for the 2022 event include but are not limited to ethical labor and commerce, equitable food access, supply chains, alternative proteins, 3D food printing and biodiversity.

SXSW is an annual conglomeration of parallel film, interactive media, and music festivals and conferences organized jointly that take place in mid-March in Austin, Texas. It began in 1987 and has continued to grow in both scope and size every year. In recent years, the conference has lasted for 10 days with the interactive track lasting for five days, music for seven days, and film for nine days. SXSW is the highest revenue-producing event outside of athletic and other events associated with The University of Texas at Austin for the Austin economy.
"It is an honour to be able to speak at the SXSW Future of Foods event. I am hopeful that the opportunity will not only allow me to meet stakeholders in this field but also to learn more about how CULT can be part of the sustainable food solution going forward," said Lejjy Gafour said in a statement.
"CULT appreciates the chance to address the topic of ending multiple food-related crises through cellular agriculture. It is not only important to share our perspectives but learning from others is also vital to the Company's future in the sustainable food industry," he added.
