Google & Compass Present The Conscious Plate at AFTEA 2025

At Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia (AFTEA) 2025, sustainability isn’t just discussed – it’s experienced. This year, we’ve partnered with Google and Compass to bring The Conscious Plate to the exhibition floor: a live dining showcase that demonstrates how culinary creativity, responsible sourcing, and mindful choices can help build more sustainable and nutritious food systems.

Google’s food philosophy is rooted in the belief that what we eat impacts not only our well-being but also the health of the planet. In partnership with Compass Singapore, The Conscious Plate translates this ethos into inventive menus designed to inspire, nourish, and reduce environmental impact.

A Taste of the Future

Over three days at AFTEA, visitors can enjoy live sampling that showcases sustainable food philosophies in action:

Future Protein

Hybrid Beef-Mushroom Dumplings

Upcycled Harvest

Plant-Based 'Sea Cucumber’ with Zero-Waste Mala Emulsion

Regenerative Roots

Vegetable Scrap with Fermented Garnish and Emulsion

The Three Core Principles

Roots to Harvest

Using fermentation to create a delicious dish that maximises nutrient density while minimising energy use and waste.

Mindful Meals

Reducing carbon footprint by blending proteins while delivering rich flavour.

Repurpose with a Purpose

Minimising waste by giving new life to by-products

Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

The Conscious Plate isn’t just about tasting food – it’s about experiencing how small changes in sourcing, preparation, and consumption can create a positive impact on both people and the planet. Each dish tells a story of innovation and sustainability, giving visitors a chance to see how conscious dining can drive meaningful change across the agri-food ecosystem.
