INVITE: Join Katrin to discuss the future of food

On Thursday, 25th February, from 10 am to 12.30 am, Katrin Bohn will be discussing the future of food with entrepreneurs and academics. Please do join in!

Industry leaders will come together to share their insights on the future of food (production) in this online event hosted by Clean Growth UK, a network led by the University of Brighton’s Green Growth Platform, which says:

‘What does the Future of Food really look like? Synthetic meats? Bizarre protein sources or mass food production on a scale never seen before? How can we tackle the world’s climate emergency and help people eat healthy, nutritious diets at the same time?

Expect lively debate, a window into the future, and the chance to network with like-minded business leaders and changemakers. This event is an opportunity for buyers, specifiers and food distributors across the supply chain to meet the innovators creating the food being reinvented for the 21st century.

Talks at the event will cover:

  • how public attention on climate change is driving innovation and creating new markets in the agri-food sector;
  • the rise of alternative meat and dairy products – how sustainable are they?
  • UK land use and the quest for self-sufficiency – what types of food should we be growing?
  • Supply chain logistics and sourcing of ingredients – what effect has the organic movement had?

There will also be business networking opportunities, business exhibition booths and the chance to speak with Clean Growth UK’s innovation and business growth advisers. The virtual business exhibition booths will provide an opportunity for businesses in the energy sector to showcase their offers and interact directly with delegates during and after the event.

The event uses the virtual conference platform Hopin. Businesses interested in a virtual exhibition booth should contact +44(0)20 8058 0845 for more details. Tickets cost £2 per person. The event organisers, Legacy Events, are donating the proceeds from ticket sales to the Trussell Trust, a charity who provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty and campaign for change to end the need for food banks in the UK. Get your ticket via Hopin.
