What will future generations put on their plates – based on science? The VALORTECH ERA Chair of Estonian University of Life Sciences and its professor Rajeev Bhat are working on the question day by day.

It’s 30 years from now, and you’re ordering food at a local restaurant. It’s a vegetarian place, like most of them in your area these days, says Rajeev Bhat.
