Post-Election Food Industry Debrief: July Community Huddle 2024

MEMBERS JOINED US FOR AN ENGAGING AND INFORMATIVE SESSION TO UNPACK THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE RECENT ELECTION RESULTS ON THE FOOD LANDSCAPE – INCLUDING WHAT THE INDUSTRY NEEDS TO KNOW. 

We connected with food systems campaigners, experts and industry professionals, to gain valuable insights, and discuss the potential impacts and opportunities that lie ahead.

Key Insights from this Huddle: 
  • Industry’s initial reaction is optimistic. 
  • Familiar faces transitioning from shadow posts to front bench roles signal continuity, and the groundwork laid by these individuals is promising. 
  • Farmers advocate for unified targets for both sales and sustainability teams to avoid conflicting objectives. 
  • Policy will come, but don’t wait for it. Reach out to us to get on the front foot.
