Eco Foods 2025 Conference: A Leap Towards Sustainability in the Food Industry
Next month, the spotlight will be on the food industry as the Eco Foods 2025 conference takes center stage at The Minster Building in London’s vibrant financial district. Organized by Arena International, this inaugural event focuses on the critical theme of sustainability—an issue that echoes throughout the supply chain and affects stakeholders at every level.
Keynote Insights and Expert Discussions
Highlighting the importance of sustainability, Baroness Bennett, a former leader of the UK’s Green Party, will kick off the conference with a keynote address. Her insights will set the tone for a day dedicated to exploring how the agri-food sector can evolve to meet the twin challenges of sustainability and food security. This is a crucial discourse, especially as the world grapples with the pressing needs of a growing population.
Attendees can expect a wealth of knowledge from industry leaders. Among the top firms represented are Mondelez International, Danone, and Arla Foods—household names that are increasingly committed to integrating sustainability into their operational frameworks.
Focused Sessions: Tackling Key Issues
The conference will feature a series of engaging discussions. Fischer Farms, a pioneering UK vertical farming business, will share its strategies for navigating the challenges present in this emerging sector. The benefits of vertical farming—such as reduced land use and increased yield—align perfectly with goals for a sustainable future.
Later in the day, Apetito, a leader in the ready-meals market, will discuss initiatives focusing on energy efficiency, waste reduction, and water usage—essential elements in crafting a more ecologically responsible business model.
As the morning progresses, a panel will convene featuring representatives from the UK Food Standards Agency, the National Farmers’ Union, recycling charity WRAP, and Pip & Nut. The discussion will center on the alignment of production practices with net-zero targets, providing pivotal insights into the future of food production.
