THE BIG QUESTION:
What does credible commercial leadership look like in 2026?
Sales targets. Shareholder pressure. Tight margins. And growing expectations to deliver on health, climate and social impact.
We know many food and drink leaders are walking the tightrope between short-term performance and long-term responsibility. But the real opportunity lies in doing both – and doing them well.
That’s why we’re opening up the conversation – inviting bold, experienced voices to share how they’re navigating the commercial challenge and reshaping what leadership looks like.
We’re actively growing our ecosystem of Diverse Voices to reach further into every corner of food and farming, and to bring fresh, grounded insight to Future Food Movement members.
Got a shift you’re making, a tension you’re facing, or a new idea about what leadership needs next?
We want to hear it.
