00:00Japanese food is renowned for being fresh and healthy and here at Expo 2025 in Osaka, sustainable seafood is one of the many menu highlights.
00:10That said, we're not just here for the tasty food. In fact, at Expo 2025, they're asking profound and long-term questions about how to feed the growing population of our planet in a sustainable way, while also keeping everybody healthy in body and mind. So let's take a look.
00:32During the Necessities of Life Food, Clothing and Shelter theme week, one of the ways to engage the crowd in the conversation around sustainability was to invite them to build a traditional kiyoki cask used for fermenting soy sauce.
00:51Meanwhile, the discussion inside was focused on why Japanese specialities such as seaweed and seafood are both planet-friendly and highly nutritious.
01:05Michelin-starred chef Yoshihiro Murata believes his country's cuisine offers a pathway to nourish the generations to come.
01:12日本料理は非常にサズナブルな料理なんで、もともとCO2の排出量も非常に少なくて、野菜中心、それから肉は使わないっていう料理ですから、油も一滴も使わずに料理ができます。
01:28それって非常にこう、世界の健康に向けては非常にプラスになる料理の作り方、それと考え方やというふうに思っています。
01:42Healthy food is part of the picture, yet panellists at this high-level debate stressed that a sustainable food system needs to eliminate waste.
01:51Brazilian expert João Campari explains why.
01:55We're wasting about 40% of all food that is produced because in appropriate storage facilities,
02:00sometimes the seeds that are planted are not fit for purpose of climate change and other conditions,
02:06and a lot is lost also on transport.
02:09Providing good food for all is one challenge, and the other is staying healthy for longer.
02:17A promising innovation in the spotlight during the health and well-being theme week is regenerative medicine using what are known as iPS cells,
02:24which can replace any cell in the body.
02:28Professor Yoshiki Sauer has been pioneering their use in heart therapy.
02:32To overcome this heart failure pandemic, I think that the most important thing is to develop the regenerative therapy.
02:43If we make much more effort, I think that finally the organ failure should be controlled by iPS cells.
02:53It is very, very promising.
02:54Taking such new technology from the lab to the market was the focus of the Japan Health Conference in Osaka alongside Expo 2025.
03:06It was initiated by Professor Sauer, who's keen to accelerate innovation in healthcare.
03:11Japan Health has played a significant role to accelerate such a kind of social implementation, especially the business or the industrialization.
03:25Like many other industries, healthcare is now applying AI tools in research.
03:30Belgian immunologist Professor Damien Laoui sees strong potential to personalize cancer care.
03:38We are going more and more towards personalization of therapies and personalization of combination therapies,
03:44but that's still quite a futuristic vision.
03:48But that's where AI might help us, to then be able to make the right combination therapies in a personalized way for each patient individually.
04:00Helping the individual and supporting collective goals, both important themes here at Expo 2025,
04:06and they were perfectly symbolized by the day-long effort from the crowd to make one kiyoki cask,
04:12which will be used for at least a century to come, according to the soy sauce master.
04:17That's all we have to have time to be able to read from others.
04:18We've helped everyone to learn about the food in an online festival and support them.
04:21They are also able to learn about the food in terms of possible ways to make a pro,
04:23because we have to learn about the food in the future.
04:24By the way, we think that we have to learn about the food in many of them,
04:26it's a special feeling that we can create that food within a few people,
04:28so we can say that food in the world.
04:28The food in the world is about to help us all with those treatments.
04:33The condition in the world is about the traditional culture of the world.
04:34It's about that food in harmony.
04:36So the food in the world is about the food in American literature well.
04:40It's about to be able to do when our pessoa can grow,
04:42and the food in an environment to make a way to develop the food in an environment.
04:43Well, that's all we have time for in this programme,
04:48but you can see many more fresh ideas for the future
