Forum’s Protein Challenge Southeast Asia was this year shortlisted by The Food Planet prize, which — as the largest monetary award in the global food arena — recognises solutions with potential to deliver lasting positive impact on our food systems.

Since launching in 2021 with a Case for Action, the Protein Challenge has been working with changemakers in the protein space — from food tech and financiers to grassroots initiatives — to take systemic, futures-led approaches to achieve deep transformation.

Land is a key resource in the renewable energy transition which can mean land procurement becomes a tricky, potentially contentious process.

Pinaki Halder, Director of National Programmes, India at Landesa and one of the partners of the Responsible Energy Initiative India, shares his thoughts on how land procurement for renewable energy can be done in a way that is responsible, builds resilience and creates value for all stakeholders involved. 

More and more businesses are setting ambitious targets for positive impact on their operations, value chains and wider operating context. The pivotal question facing many is the ‘big how’. How can you deliver transformational, purpose-led change in the face of an increasingly volatile and uncertain operating context? 

This is a huge challenge, but one we are very familiar with at Forum. For more than 25 years we have partnered with businesses to navigate complexity and design impactful solutions.
