  • 525: From farm to the future - building sustainable food systems
    Sep 16 2024
    How do we make our food systems more sustainable? It's a big question and it is a huge challenge. But we know that progress can be made.

    The food industry has a big impact on the climate and the environment, but we cannot just stop making food, we need to keep everyone fed.

    We also know that some of the processes we use to make food could be improved to lessen their impact on the world around us.

    In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with Tetra Pak, we delve into the world of sustainable food systems to discover some of the incredible work already being done to reduce the industry’s impact on the climate and the environment.

    And we look to the future to see where progress could be made in the years to come.

    All of this progress is underpinned by the need to produce enough food to feed a growing population, whilst meeting the high safety standards the industry demands.

  • 524: The rise and rise of sourdough - what’s next for the timeless bread?
    Sep 9 2024
    Sourdough has taken off in recent years as the bread of choice for many consumers, but what does the future hold for the product?

    Although many of us turned our hand to sourdough starters during the Coronavirus pandemic, the trend of choosing it over other bread products does not appear to be abating.

    And when we look to its history, it is clear that it has long-held a place in people’s hearts.

    In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with Millbio, we delve into that history to look for clues to what the future might hold.

    It is clear that innovation is key to the sourdough story and with new developments being made as we speak, it all points to a rather rosey outlook for the sourdough market.

    Millbio are at the forefront of that innovation, and we discuss some of the latest products coming to market, why sourdough remains a popular choice with consumers and bakers, and the importance of clear labels and provenance as part of that journey.

    Alessandro Boggiani, CEO, Millbio

  • 523: Why healthy ageing never tasted so good
    Sep 2 2024
    Healthy ageing, and in particular heart health, are big concerns for consumers. So how is the food industry responding?

    In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with BENEO, we dive into a critical topic that resonates with many of us.

    As we know, ageing populations are on the rise globally. In the UK alone, the number of people aged 65 and over has surged from 9 million to 11 million in the last decade.

    This demographic shift brings the importance of healthy ageing and heart health into sharp focus.

    We have previously discussed on the podcast the difference between an increased lifespan and an increased health span, spending our later years in good health.

    In this episode, we explore the market for products that promote healthy ageing, the trends we are seeing among consumers, and look at how how the food and drink industry is stepping up to meet consumer demand.

    Is functional nutrition the answer to increasing our intake of key nutrients? And how do we make products that are as good for our tastebuds as they are for our hearts?

    Adriana Arias, Country Manager UK, BENEO
