Join Marika Azoff, GFI’s Corporate Engagement Lead, at the Vegconomist Webtalk: Foodservice – Gateway to Changing Consumer Habits.

Event description

The foodservice sector holds immense potential as a gateway to driving the global transition toward a more sustainable and plant-based food system. As a critical player in shaping consumer habits and preferences, the industry has the power to transform the game—but how is it leveraging this influence?

What strategies are currently being deployed by key players? Where are the blind spots hindering progress? And how effectively are companies, institutions, and policymakers embracing this shift?

By analyzing the roles of key industry stakeholders and emerging trends, the webinar will explore the position of the foodservice as a critical driver in reshaping food consumption patterns.
