To sustain an expected global population of 9.7 billion by 2050, food production will need to increase by as much as 60% , estimates from the United Nations predict. The issue? The current food system is highly unsustainable. Food production is a major contributor to climate change and biodiversity loss, accounting for almost one third of global greenhouse gas emissions and half of the world’s land use. At the same time, as much as 40% of all food produced worldwide ends up as waste.

Ensuring that the nutritional needs of the growing population are met without destroying the planet is a critical problem to solve. Tackling this issue requires a significant transformation of the global food system and requires collaboration by diverse stakeholders across the food industry.

This year’s edition of the Fi Europe Conference and Future of Nutrition Summit, held in Frankfurt in November, are pivotal events for the global food and beverage industry. As we stand on the edge of a transformative era in food and nutrition, attending these events is not just an opportunity but a necessity.

Here's what you can expect and why you should be a part of it.
