Food Community

The Community stems from TEHA Club - TEHA Group's business community that brings together over 400 CEOs of Italian companies and multinationals operating in Italy - to gather companies and organisations of the Italian agri-food supply chain to create knowledge and reports on the industry and support its growth for the benefit of the whole country.

The activities of the Community include a series of Round Tables and meetings in various Italian locations to develop contents, scenarios and documents with the local stakeholders.

The results are collected and presented at the annual Forum where data and actionable proposals are shared with key policy makers on the most important issues for the competitiveness of the sector, including nutrition, healthcare, sport, transition to a sustainable and circular economy, climate and demographic impacts on the supply chain, and frontiers of innovation for the retail industry.
