The conference – which follows the launch of the Eco Drinks event in January – will bring together delegates to discuss issues ranging from waste and water to energy use, vertical farming and the resilience of supply chains.
Baroness Bennett, a former leader of the UK’s Green Party, is set to give a keynote address during the morning session to set the scene on a day that will look at how the agri-food sector can become more sustainable while ensuring it can feed the population.
During the morning session, attendees will hear from UK vertical-arming business Fischer Farms, which will discuss its strategy in the fledgling – and often challenging – sector.
Later, ready-meals business Apetito will set out how it is working in the areas of energy, waste and water.
