#engsustain 
With recent world events in 2016, issues like resource scarcity, climate change, hunger, food security, and social disparity have presented new challenges to food producers, retailers and the entire F&B industry at large.

Now we must ask ourselves how do we overcome challenges in implementing actionable initiatives and how do we measure the impact of these efforts?
This summit brings together industry leaders to address real life challenges and present best practice solutions in order to ensure that the projected population of more than 9 billion in 2050 will be fed in a sustainable yet profitable manner
The objective of this event is to provide participants with practical business ideas and roadmaps to successfully implement their sustainability strategies and achieve companywide goals.
This summit will bring together leading sustainability executives from some of the largest food producers, retailers and suppliers. We will take a closer look at how sustainability initiatives are being fostered and even acting as a paradigm shift to business as usual.
