What’s on the programme​?​

24 September: Decarbonising supply chains at the source​

Food majors are under increasing pressure to stamp out irresponsible practices from ingredient supply chains. But voluntary measures have only got the sector so far, and policymakers are stepping in. While Europe races to comply with incoming regulations, rising global temperatures are plaguing production of key commodities cocoa, coffee and sugar. Can decarbonisation practices be embedded at the source before it’s too late?

Day 1 of Climate Smart Food will cover:

Preparing for EUDR: Is Europe ready for incoming deforestation regulation?Futureproofing cocoa, coffee and sugar against climate changeSowing sustainability into food supply chains: Challenges and opportunities

25 September: Eco-friendly production from farm to fork​

Ensuring sustainable nutrition from farm to fork requires significant change. In a bid to champion resource efficiency, the agricultural sector is rethinking farming practices for the 21st​ century. And it’s not just agtech promising to deliver; food waste and upcycling are also on food makers’ radar, with valorisation the aim of the game. But improving sustainability can come with a hefty price tag and someone’s got to foot the bill. Amid a cost-of-living crisis, can consumers afford to eat ‘green’?

26 September: New tech and novel ingredients for a sustainable future​

Technological innovations, including those tackling packaging waste, promise to move the needle on carbon emissions. So too do novel ingredients, which have the power to significantly improve the sustainability of everyday products. But not all innovations are on the market, and tight investor budgets could see trailblazers struggle to reach the regulatory stage. Which new ingredients and technologies will go the distance to truly transform what and how we eat?

Day 3 of Climate Smart Food will cover:

Packaging unwrapped: Innovative solutions for the circular economyThe ‘hybrid’ potential in meat and dairyBuilding a market for new ingredients: From stem cells to microbes and ‘food from air’
