It's hard to believe that the Food and Beverage Hub was only launched a year ago - it's some of our most visited and shared content. It happened - and happened so well - because we worked on it holistically: we brought different people with different skills, knowledge and experiences to work together from the start and throughout, and produced something that I haven't seen anyone else do before... It wasn't a case of lining up subject experts to talk about what they knew. There was a richness, a depth, a humanity, and humour that could only come from being in-house together, from deeply trusting each other and from being comfortable enough to question and challenge ideas and thinking. As a business, we're still benefiting from this work a year later and will continue to do so in years to come.

We all know we need to change our food systems for the planet, but the true question is: How do we actually facilitate this change with all the stakeholders in the value chain? During the Future Food-Tech event in London, I will be moderating a roundtable on how to drive sustainable transformation across the entire value chain, from consumer behaviour to distribution. The goal? Identify systemic challenges, such as startup/corporate collaboration, innovation adoption, risk aversion and scalability. During this discussion, we will uncover together actionable steps for better collaboration in our global food system. But I need you to be part of this conversation. 👉 Join the roundtable in London  👉 Ask your questions or remarks in the comments below See you in London! #foodtech #futureoffood #foodindustry
