a comprehensive approach
of potential disruptive innovations
along with the food chain
“Our approach to food is ripe for reinvention — and the food industry
is just at the beginning of what it can achieve through innovation”
Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft
OUR APPROACH
The coming century will face the effects of the largest population explosion in mankind history. Facts and figures are
already well known: according to the FAO, by 2050, the world population will grow from 6.4 to 9 billion people. In the
meantime, the needs and demands for food will increase proportionately at least. If current patterns persist, 70% more
food will need to be produced globally, while at the same time climate change will disturb the satisfaction of these basic
needs. In this context, agricultural and food issues are more and more considered as a strategic challenge for the future
of our societies.
The creation of the Food Innovation Summit is the result of a dual commitment: presenting the most promising field
of disruptive innovations in order to revolutionize the food chain within a comprehensive approach from farm to fork.
Through 3 plenary sessions and 9 workshops, more than 50 high profile speakers and 160 delegates will present their
vision of the future of our food production system but also their first concrete products and innovative solutions.
