Benjamín Sigurgeirsson has a PhD in Biotechnology from KTH, Stockholm. He is currently working as a teacher and researcher at the Faculty of Life- and Environmental Sciences at University of Iceland.

In his talk at TEDxReykjavík, Benjamín says that through little fault of our own, we are now consuming a diet that exploits animals and is destructive to the environment and life on our planet. He is confident that we have what it takes to make changes for the better and challenges us all to re-imagine our diet and explore the tremendous benefits we can achieve by doing so. It’s easy if we try.
