Gil Horsky, one of the most influential figures in the world of Food-tech and venture capital, was recently interviewed by the Srugim website following his participation in the prestigious “Climate, Calories & Code” panel at the DLD Conference in Munich. During his talk, Horsky shared his forecast for the future of global nutrition, highlighting the fascinating transition from global mass production to localized solutions tailored specifically to the needs of the population.
According to Horsky, as the world changes, so does the way we grow and consume our food. “We are moving toward the localization of the food industry,” he explained at the conference. He detailed how advanced technologies now make it possible to produce food much closer to the end consumer, a move that simultaneously reduces the carbon footprint and bolsters food security. Horsky—who previously established the venture capital arm of the global snack giant Mondelēz—brings a unique vantage point that blends “big corporate” experience with a deep-rooted understanding of agile, young tech entrepreneurship.
He emphasizes that this isn’t just a passing trend, but a profound structural shift driven by both climatic and economic necessities. Horsky makes it clear that Israel continues to serve as a global hub for food innovation, and that industry leaders like himself are working to ensure this innovation is translated into healthier, more accessible products for the general public.
