Register for free for the three-day Climate Smart Digital Summit, which will be broadcast from September 24-26, 2024..
The summit will bring together brands and companies such as Danone, Diageo Ferrero, Lumina Intelligence Mintel Nestle Yum Bug, Lumina Intelligence and many more.
Climate Smart Digital Summit, second dayThe project focuses on the massive problem of food waste throughout the production process, at home and on the farm, as well as the transformative potential of regenerative agriculture, the financial and environmental opportunities of recycling, and consumer perceptions of green purchasing.
Regulations affecting the industry are also discussed, focusing on the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)The new law will come into force at the end of the year.
Key takeaways for delegates Second dayThe free FoodNavigator event is to be expected:
Farm-to-Table Food Waste Prevention Tips
It’s not just a problem, it’s a disaster. It’s affecting industry and costing it an estimated $1 trillion a year. It’s bad for people, and it’s bad for our planet. Sharon Bligh of the Consumer Goods Forum explains how manufacturers, suppliers and retailers are tackling this huge problem.
Regenerative agriculture: understanding its potential
Andrew Utterback will discuss the potential of regenerative agriculture with Ingredion’s Director of Global Sustainable Sourcing. Learn how reduced tillage practices, crop rotations, and cover crops can improve degraded soils, build supply chain resilience, and reduce climate impacts.
Recycling: The Risks and Rewards
Our first panel of the day will explore the enormous potential of recycling. In our first roundtable of the day, we will explore how manufacturers and suppliers can not only reduce food waste, but also generate a new revenue stream.
Recycling also poses challenges. We will discuss how to ensure a steady supply of raw materials for innovators, the challenges of bringing products to market, and what consumers think about recycled materials.
What Consumers Think About Green Buying
Food and beverage producers are making great strides to create a sustainable environment, but the question remains: how will consumers respond? The industry can produce sustainable products that taste great. If the answer to that question is “no,” then people won’t buy those products. And what’s more? If they’re more expensive, will consumers choose less sustainable options instead?
Blonnie Whist answers this important question: what do consumers really want?
Eco-labeling: a better understanding
In this episode, we delve into the world of eco-labeling. The lack of EU regulation has led some players to make claims based on inaccurate data or irresponsible footprint calculations. Cliona del Rio will explain how eco-labeling organization Foundation Earth can help protect industry and consumers.
Satellite data supports sustainability in the food and beverage industry
Earth observation is becoming a very powerful tool to support sustainability. The tool tracks important variables for food production such as weather, soil moisture and water to ensure farmers are prepared.
Andrew Mullin will talk to us about the technology currently available and the exciting new technologies that are coming.
AgTech Solutions for Resilient Supply Chains
Our second panel will explore the potential of technology to transform agriculture and how it can support a sustainable and productive food ecosystem. We will look at solutions that can have real impact, from precision agriculture to crop protection.
