Reflections from
the Quantum Leap Workshop
at Future Food Hub
By Santi Abakaz
Co-Founder of Bio Buddy, Tastebud Lab, and Future Food Network
On August 6, 2025, we had the privilege of co-hosting the Quantum Leap Workshop at the newly launched Future Food Hub in Bangkok — in collaboration with ALOHAS Foundation, RegenASiA, Bio Buddy,
Tastebud Lab, and Bhiraj Buri Group, and a global alliance of regenerative visionaries.
This wasn’t just another gathering.
It was a space to pause, challenge, and realign.
To ask not only “what’s next,” but “what’s possible.”
Led by futurists and systems architects including Marc Buckley, Daniela Herrmann, Maks Giordano, Thomas Roedding, and Dina Baenninger, the workshop invited C-level leaders, impact investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to explore how we might move beyond ESG frameworks and into a truly regenerative future
for food.
We explored:
- Tools like Digital Product Passports for future-ready transparency
- Cross-sector synergy across AI, quantum computing, biotech, and agri-food innovation
- Regenerative models that integrate culture, climate, and community
- Mindset shifts that move from linear to living systems
One question stayed with us:
“How many apples do you see on the table?”
It reminded us that the future doesn’t come from counting what’s already there — but from imagining what seeds we can grow, together.
What Comes Next
What
Participants walked away with more than insight — they left with a UN-endorsed certification, new allies, and shared momentum.
We’re now moving forward with:
- A Food System Townhall Series at Future Food System Conference in 2026 to foster open cross-
sector dialogue (about Future Food System Conference) - A Quantum Leap Lab to incubate and accelerate pilot projects and innovations
- Growing the Future Food Hub as a regional collaboration platform (about Future Food Hub)
This workshop marked a leap — in thought, in trust, and in what’s possible when we gather not just to talk, but to build.
Let’s keep co-creating.
Let’s keep leaping — together.
