The Consumption Innovation Framework
Solving consumption problems with innovation
The Consumption Innovation Framework is a approach to solving consumption problems by investing in research and development of new technologies that allow us to grow more healthy food, transport it more effectively, and reduce waste. This framework recognizes that consumption is a major driver of environmental degradation and that technology can play a crucial role in reducing our impact on the planet.

Genetically modified crops can improve crop yields and reduce environmental impact
Genome editing technologies like CRISPR can improve crop yields and reduce environmental impact
The framework is based on the idea that consumption is a major driver of environmental degradation and that technology can play a crucial role in reducing our impact on the planet. The author argues that we need to invest in research and development of new technologies that allow us to grow more healthy food, transport it more effectively, and reduce waste.
