Expectations for health and food have never been higher. The power of science and technology, unprecedented collaborations, and the acceleration and adoption of major innovations like GLP-1 have raised the bar exponentially when it comes to what people today expect from wellness offerings. Consumers have never felt more empowered to navigate their health with greater mastery, and as a result, lifestyle and eating patterns are changing rapidly. At the same time, our food system is under tremendous climate and economic pressure. As a result, food and beverage companies are teaming up with tech firms, universities, and NGOs to diminish planet impact while maximizing innovation and business goals. In this panel, we’ll discuss the many ways our food ecosystem is being revolutionized to meet the needs of people and our planet, and how consumers can be part of this transformation. Attendees should stay after the panel—all attendees are entered into a raffle for an Ultimate Innovator gift bag, but must be present to win.
