2024 Forum Food

TEHA Club's Food&Beverage Community held the national Forum of the 2023-2024 edition in June, with panel discussions and engaging meetings between industry business leaders and relevant institutions.

The Forum - "La Roadmap del futuro per il Food&Beverage: quali evoluzioni e quali sfide per i prossimi anni?" ("The Roadmap of the future for Food&Beverage: Which developments and challenges for the coming years?") - took place on June 7 and 8, 2024 in Bormio (Province of Sondrio, Lombardy, Italy)  to reflect on the strategic role of the agrifood supply chain for the country's resilience and competitiveness at a time of great uncertainty and complexity

Over the course of the two-day event, there were several panels, featuring the Top Management of the Italian food supply chain and the country's Modern Distribution. We discussed the excellence of Made in Italy products and how to collaborate between the different players of the supply chain to promote them in Italy and abroad; the role of catering and food service in the new scenario and the expected evolutions; how we will eat in the coming years, also in light of the impacts of climate change and the new international framework; the combination of food, sport and health, and the role of food education in promoting healthy and sustainable lifestyles.

The event was also an opportunity to share the updated snapshot on the contribution of the agrifood supply chain to the competitiveness of the country – in terms of employment, Value Added, international projection and primates – emphasizing the importance of some key elements: food, health, sports, and sustainable and circular transition of the supply chain.
