The New Food Conference will gather more than 500 key stakeholders from the food industry to discuss alternative proteins, on 23 and 24 April, and the programme has just been launched showcasing high-profile speakers from across the industry.
The speakers come from academia, the startup and investment scene, and the political sphere, to share their insights into the latest developments in the fields of plant-based and cultured foods.
Speakers at NFC 2020 will cover developments in the plant-based sector across the entire value chain, with a special focus on the key role of functional ingredients.

Other focus areas include international producer best-practices and retail and food-service perspectives on the rise of plant-based products. A panel discussion will shine a light on the changing role of agriculture in the new-protein era, giving a voice to farmers and addressing the question of how to meet the rising demand for protein crops.
The New Food Conference is also a platform for cultured proteins. As well as shining a light on new developments in the field of cultured meat and fish products, high-profile panellists will address the question as to why more and more big food companies are diversifying their protein portfolio and investing in cellular agriculture technologies.
