SPEAKERS
Navigating uncertainty
The food and beverage industry finds itself at the intersection of climate change, food waste and food insecurity, growing threats to global food systems, and supply chain challenges, alongside changing consumer trends which will impact and shape the future of food.
These complex vulnerabilities need a deeper understanding in order to find new solutions and ways forward. And leaders need inspiration, fresh ideas and brave insights and powerful tools, to navigate these shifting landscapes.
