“We’ll be looking through the lens of the consumer at how innovation and collaboration is bringing more sustainability into our food systems. We have a terrific line-up of speakers, an audience to match, and a wide range of talks, interviews and peer-to-peer conversations packed into what we hope will be a very rewarding day for everyone involved. There will be around 150 senior level professionals from across the agri-food ecosystem in the room”
This year’s summit focused on looking through the lens of changing consumer expectations and taking place in the lengthening shadow of climate change.
