About the Summit
The Future of Food Production Summit is the must-attend virtual event for any company involved in improving the sustainability, efficiency and resilience of global food supply chains.
The senior executive-level conference presents an unbiased opportunity to explore and discuss this complex issue with world-leading experts. Discover a wide range of solutions that will have a positive impact on the planet and increase the efficiency and resilience of our food supply chains.
There are some key barriers to scaling up food technologies: vested interests, lack of demand and risk capital, infrastructure and inputs such as power, regulatory burdens, and basic science/R&D.
Although overcoming these barriers will require several actors to come together –including innovators, scientists and investors – governments hold significant responsibility for setting the ambition and driving the direction of change. Governments also have a role to play in providing funding, infrastructure and innovative regulation.
The conference enables industry leaders to stay up-to-date with the most recent solutions, technology, policy, and concepts across the food system. And get the best opportunities to meet key industry contributors.
Summit mission
We want to give novel food technologies access to development and deployment. We are bringing together over 75 international speakers and over 750 delegates to debate and discuss the latest business models, strategies, innovations, future regulations, technologies, and solutions involved in the commercialisation of sustainable food production.
The conference aims to progress the following areas:
1. Providing proper health and nutrition.
2. Delivering economic opportunities and growth.
3. Promoting environmental sustainability.
4. Increasing food security.
The virtual platform allows us to collaborate with contributors around the globe and network safely, sustainably and efficiently.
