-
From weight management and healthy longevity to personalised nutrition, food and nutrition innovation is accelerating at unprecedented speed - but what are consumers actually willing to pay for? As scrutiny rises fuelled by the ongoing UPF debate and recent safety concerns, how do perceptions around processing, quality, and health claims shape what gets accepted or rejected? And how can brands align product design, positioning, and pricing with real‑world market dynamics to move from initial interest to repeat adoption?

Biologicals are gaining momentum amid fertiliser volatility and climate risk, yet adoption remains uneven due to inconsistent performance. What standards and benchmarks are needed to prove real‑world reliability and repeatability? And how do demonstration plots and peer networks - from field days to WhatsApp groups - build the trust needed for widespread adoption?
14:30
-
Robotics and precision tools are advancing fast, but cost, interoperability, and risk are still holding back widespread adoption. How can solutions be integrated into existing workflows, and what lessons have emerged around simplicity and compatibility across crops and systems? When does ownership make sense versus “as‑a‑service” models?

AI is rapidly reshaping how agri-food innovation is scoped, funded, and delivered, forcing leaders to rethink what gets built, backed, and scaled. As capabilities mature in a margin-constrained environment, how will AI redefine R&D priorities, compress development timelines, and reshape the cost and risk profile of innovation pipelines in the next 3, 5, and 10 years?
