The Future of Lipids— A Market Explosion in Food, Fuel, Crops, Bioplastics, & More
The future of lipids is bright, multifaceted, and crucial for sustainability across food, feed, and industrial sectors. With scientific creativity, farming innovation, and cross-sector collaboration, lipids are evolving from a traditional commodity into a platform for innovation. This webinar aims to provide highlights of these critical and novel developments.

From farms to labs to factories, the landscape of lipids is experiencing a transformative expansion.

Food: Reimagining fats for health and functionality—eliminating trans fats, fortifying with omega-3s, and structuring oils in new ways for the plant-based revolution.

Feed: Decoupling aquaculture from wild fish inputs and enhancing sustainability by sourcing omega-3 from crops and microbes.

Industry: Leveraging the molecular versatility of lipids to create a range of products, from fuels to bioplastics, with a focus on closing the carbon loop and reducing our dependence on petrochemicals.

Significant scientific strides support these advances, and as a result, new crops are being developed and explored to boost the yield and sustainability of farming operations.

Join us on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 12:00 – 1:00 pm for AURI’s Webinar Wednesday. The webinar is free, but registration is required.

This webinar is sponsored by Bremer Bank and the Minnesota Farmers Union.
