528: The emerging trends driving sustainable food

Food Matters Live Podcast

Sustainability in the food and drink sector is here to stay as a key issue, but what will drive it in the years to come?
In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded live at our Tastes of Better event in Ascot in April 2024, a panel of experts offer their views on this crucial question.
The conversation explores the emerging trends in sustainable food and drink solutions, focusing on consumer engagement, the importance of data, transparency in supply chains, and the role of eco-labeling.
Our panel discusses how sustainability is becoming a priority for consumers, the challenges of making sustainable choices, and the need for better labeling systems to guide consumer decisions.
It is clear that reaching sustainability goals within the food and drink sector will require a collaborative effort, but can that be acheived? And if so, how?
