Anuga is focused on the future by prioritising the environment with their 2023 theme, Sustainable Growth, to constructively discuss and inspire globally feasible solutions to ease tensions between economic growth and the ongoing desire for sustainability in the face of growing climate issues impacting the food industry.
"The key challenge of the future will be promoting economic growth and sustainable development while ensuring the necessary natural resources are still available," explained the Director of Anuga Stefanie Mauritz.
The food fair will be a unique networking opportunity to exchange innovative ideas and solutions. In partnership with the European Insititute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), Anuga's congress and events programme will include various conferences, workshops, experience areas, and speaker sessions where the discussion will focus on sustainable growth.
Topics of discussion will specifically address the realisation of sustainable development goals (SDGs), the transparency and traceability of supply chains and products, more climate-friendly production, resource-saving raw material cultivation, food waste, and methods to achieve a circular food system.
"In a time of disruptive change, which is influencing the global market sustainably, together with the exhibiting companies, leading institutions, and experts, at Anuga, we offer the opportunity for an intensive exchange of ideas and solutions."
The advancement of technology within the food industry will be a crucial driver for implementing solution-based changes. However, the event allows companies to reveal their considerations of the industry's current state-of-the-art innovations.
Anuga will occur in Cologne from the 7th to the 11th of October, 2023.
