In an era where sustainability intertwines with consumer choices, the upcycled food industry has evolved from a mere trend to a cornerstone of innovation in the food supply ecosystem. As of 2021, this burgeoning sector boasted a market size exceeding $53 billion, with projections suggesting a near doubling by 2031. The rapid expansion of this category, coupled with heightened consumer consciousness, brings a significant onus on the industry to foster upcycled foods that are not only innovative but also adhere to stringent standards of ingredient sourcing, nutritional value, and sustainability.
This session will delve into the nuances of responsible innovation and explore the intersection of consumer education, awareness and circular food systems.
