An exciting new initiative – Global Dilemma Conference
The Global Dilemma Conference is a new initiative during this year’s FoodTech and takes place October 2-3, 2024 . The conference focuses on the most important challenges and potentials in the food industry exploring the question “What does the food industry look like on the planet’s terms?
The food industry accounts for nearly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce this and achieve the goals set out in the Paris Agreement, the industry faces a difficult but necessary transformation. The overarching dilemma arises from the need to both meet the growing food demands and reduce the climate footprint.
This is reflected in the issues the industry is forced to address. The food industry must navigate new regulations and financing opportunities, reduce CO2 emissions, and optimize energy and resource consumption.
The conference is organized in collaboration with Insight Events and facilitated by the think tank Frej.
