00:00Japanese food is renowned for being fresh and healthy and here at Expo 2025 in Osaka,
00:07sustainable seafood is one of the many menu highlights.
00:14That said, we're not just here for the tasty food.
00:17In fact, at Expo 2025, they're asking profound and long-term questions
00:22about how to feed the growing population of our planet in a sustainable way,
00:27while also keeping everybody healthy in body and mind.
00:31So let's take a look.
00:38During the Necessities of Life Food, Clothing and Shelter theme week,
00:42one of the ways to engage the crowd in the conversation around sustainability
00:46was to invite them to build a traditional kiyoki cask used for fermenting soy sauce.
00:51Meanwhile, the discussion inside was focused on why Japanese specialties such as seaweed and seafood
01:01are both planet-friendly and highly nutritious.
01:05Michelin-style chef Yoshihiro Murata believes his country's cuisine offers a pathway
01:10to nourish the generations to come.
01:12Japanese food is a very healthy food,
01:16so there's much sugar in the cold,
01:19and many superficies are not used in the food
01:24as the meat.
01:29They are not used in the food.
01:30It's a very natural food and can make food.
01:34I think that's what I think is a plus to make food and think about.
01:43Healthy food is part of the picture, yet panellists at this high-level debate
01:47stressed 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 purposes of climate change and other conditions.
02:06And a lot is lost also on transport.
02:12Providing 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 Wellbeing theme week
02:21is regenerative medicine using what are known as IPS cells, which can replace any cell in the body.
02:27Professor Yoshiki Sauer has been pioneering their use in heart therapy.
02:33To overcome this heart failure pandemic,
02:38I think that the most important is to develop the regenerative therapy.
02:43If we make much more effort,
02:46I think that finally the organ failure should be controlled by IPS cells.
02:52It 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 is keen to accelerate innovation in healthcare.
03:12Japan Health plays a significant role to accelerate such kind of social implementation,
03:19especially the business or the industrialization.
03:25Like many other industries, healthcare is now applying AI tools in research.
03:31Belgian immunologist Professor Damien Laoui sees strong potential to personalize cancer care.
03:37We are going more and more towards personalization of therapies and personalization of combination therapies,
03:44but that's still quite a futuristic vision.
03:47But that's where AI might help us,
03:51to then be able to make the right combination therapies in a personalized way for each patient individually.
03:57Helping the individual and supporting collective goals, both important themes here at EXPO 2025.
04:07And 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.
04:17We've been able to do various people from the company's company.
04:20We've been able to make many people from this company to make one kiyoki cask,
04:22and we've been able to make the right-long effort for each patient.
04:23We've been able to make one kiyoki cask.
04:25Well that's all we have time for in this program, but you can see many more fresh ideas for the future from Expo 2025 on Euronews.com.
04:55We'll see you next time.
