How to ensure food security to a growing population while reducing food systems' environmental footprint? How to develop internationally while fighting against climate crisis? How to sell healthy food and keep it affordable? These are all tough challenges!
Food systems require a fundamental redesign to meet humanity needs within planetary boundaries. Food start-ups leads the way. They reinvent farming, production, packaging, or marketing, and redefine what is good and fair. But some major agri-food businesses are also strongly committed to sustainability and can have a greater impact.
You will be inspired all along by inspiring speakers, presenting sustainable solutions, from field to fork. And you will contribute by building your own sustainable food brand.
