Future Food Movement

Future Food Movement launched in 2022 to tackle the climate emergency in the food and drink sector. It is a pioneering membership community to support and upskill the food industry to take action on the biggest challenge of our generation: climate + health.

It recognises that the whole food industry needs to more actively participate by unlocking human capital and capability to drive this forward. In order to do this successfully, the sector needs to upskill on a mass scale to overcome the competency and skills gap which is evident at all levels, from boardroom to shop floor.

The team includes registered nutritionists, public health experts, food system and climate leaders, regenerative agriculture and net zero specialists, plus next generation farmers and youth activists - representing the whole food value chain, with the ability to influence action on climate and health with a culturally relevant, commercial and hands on understanding.
