Why attend?
The global food system faces immense challenges: feeding 9 billion people by 2050, ensuring healthy, sustainable, affordable food, and tackling urbanization and food waste. These challenges create opportunities to:
- Boost sustainable food availability
- Improve food access in emerging markets
- Enhance yields to meet future demand
- Reduce supply chain losses and waste
With €4 billion from the EU for agrifood innovation, startups play a vital role in ensuring impactful solutions. F&A Next connects these startups with top investors and resources to scale their ideas and drive change.
