Network Meeting
19 September 2024 | 09:30 - 19:00
Young IFFI Event – Food for Thought
At the Young IFFI Event we will focus on global food systems providing food security to 9 billion people while stretching the natural resources and planetary boundaries. Challenging issues with respect to consumers, industries and supply chains will be addressed from the perspective of the young generation of professionals working in the industry of food ingredients. They are invited to the stage and question the status quo of the way we do business either in commerce, operations or innovation? Questions will be addressed, like: To reduce food related diseases in what way can the food ingredients industry help consumers to make a healthy choice? And questions like: What should be the criteria for the food ingredients industry to develop, produce and market food ingredients affecting health in a positive way? Or questions like: To counter the quest for one green planet, how can the food ingredients industry use her global presence while orchestrating their global supply chains? Young IFFI Event provides a platform for the young generation of professionals in the food ingredients industry, who wish to contribute to a sustainable food system and make this world a greener place.
