We were thrilled to be one of 16 finalists, selected from over 100 entries across the UK, to participate in the inaugural Future of Food competition.
The competition brought together some of the country’s most innovative food and farming businesses, with each finalist invited to pitch their ideas live to a panel of industry experts and decision-makers at the historic Royal Geographical Society in London.
Future of Food Creator, Barney Mauleverer said, “The mega trends of the future – rising sea
levels, shifting populations, threats to our economy, farming and climate, even space tourism are undeniable. But the food industry has a unique opportunity to lead the charge in solving these seismic shifts and crises. It’s incredibly inspiring to see so many young, up and coming innovators forging ahead.
Without the strength of big brands or budgets behind them, they’re making waves, pushing
boundaries and showing the incredible talent this industry has to offer. That’s exactly what
the Future of Food competition is here to celebrate: their passion, drive and game changing potential.
