Whether we eat to live or live to eat, food is a critical necessity for 7.7 billion of us today, and 10 billion tomorrow.

But with the critical challenges facing our food ecosystem, this multiple-trillion dollar (and counting) industry is on the cusp of crisis and disruption. Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods have already put plant-based protein on the front pages, and food innovation at the forefront of many investors' radars. Where is the next food unicorn?

Meet key players leading the global food revolution, from forward-thinking investors to the most promising innovators shaking up the ecosystem.
