Innovation in the food industry is essential to address some of the most immediate challenges arising from issues such as population growth, resource scarcity caused by climate change or consumer demands.
This innovation can be applied in various areas or stages of food production, ranging from sustainable agriculture or the circular economy in its early stages, to marketing or the application of techniques that extend shelf life or allow for more sustainable packaging, in more advanced stages, to the generation of new foods or products more adapted to current tastes such as nutraceuticals or vegan products.
In order for companies to address these changes through innovation, they need to be prepared and have the right knowledge to take on and incorporate these changes into their value chains. The participants of this round table are well aware of the complexity of innovating in this field and will address, from their experience, some of the most current aspects.
