The Future of Food Sourcing and the Supply Chain: A Summary
12th July | 14:00 – 14:45 (BST)
Presenter: Alex Beckett (Director – Mintel Food and Drink)
Food is something that connects us all. Yet the basis of this connection, the supply chain, is struggling. There is plenty of publicity and scrutiny of the hard issues of the supply chain, like grain shortages and inflation. What is less asked is: what do consumers know, need to know and want from the food supply chain?
An appreciation of the consumer perspective is a vital part of the toolkit that the food industry requires to navigate this crisis.
This globally-focused presentation will summarise insights on what consumers want, and how these relate to food production, processing, distribution, as well as retail and consumption.
