Currently the food industry is responsible for 1/3 of Global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Empty supermarket shelves in 2023, caused by flooding in Spain, were a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities of the UK’s food supply chain. More recently, debates surrounding farmers inheritance tax, rising obesity rates, processed foods, and poor crop yields, have all highlighted large systemic problems within food systems.
Sustainable Foods has strong support from across industry and will provide a high-profile meeting place for announcements, partnerships and deal-making for those who farm, manufacture, and sell food and drink.
2026 Partners include Tesco (Lead Sponsor), Arla (Associate Sponsor) ABP (Regenerative Agriculture Partner), Danone (Health & Nutrition Partner), BidFood (Content Partner); and Bel (Healthy Snacking Partner.
Commenting on their support for the congress, Ken Murphy, CEO Tesco, said: “We’re proud that Tesco is the lead sponsor of the Sustainable Food Conference, which brings together leaders from across the industry to focus on the future of food.
