The European Union aims to be at the forefront of global food sustainability, including initiatives such as the European Green New Deal, as well as working towards achieving the aims of the 17 SDGs.

The European branch of Thought For Food, a global food and agri-tech innovation non-profit, in partnership with FoodDrinkEurope, an association representing the EU food and drink industry, will be co-hosting an event exploring the role of innovation in meeting food sustainability challenges, and how to create an enabling environment that will allow next-gen entrepreneurs, start-ups and business to bring forward the game-changing solutions needed.

This Dialogue will bring together and hear perspectives from diverse stakeholders based in the EU, looking to include next-generation innovators, farmers, scientists, public and private sector representatives, civil society representatives, activists, financial sector representatives, chefs, as well as stakeholders outside of the food and agriculture industry. In alignment with the goals of the Action Tracks and the United Nations Food Systems Summit 2021, this Dialogue aims to explore the opportunities for innovation in the EU to transform food systems.
