Can reformulation provide healthy foods for children?
We hosted an event in partnership with TU Dublin to explore the importance of the reformulation of food products in Ireland and the health benefits of reformulation to children.
Attendees shared knowledge of food reformulation and advised one another about how to navigate the challenges around it, including associated food policies and legislation.
Collaboration with Glasgow Science Centre
We recently partnered with Glasgow Science Centre to host ‘future of food’ workshops where we reached 4,000 children and families! Our interactive workshops inspired children to learn about how food is produced and why we need to grow healthier and more sustainable food for future generations.
Hosting agrifood SMEs in Iceland
We teamed up with Matis, Orkidea, Iceland Ocean Cluster and Rannis to connect food businesses and scale up facilities from the UK with those in Iceland, a country renowned for sustainable and innovative food production.
