“Sustainable Growth” is the key theme of Anuga 2023. This decision was made by the Anuga community as part of a digital communication campaign. Hence, the major international trade fair for food and drinks is putting one of the key topics of the sector on the agenda as an international trading platform and trendsetter.
The focus is on a variety of topics, including how to resolve the food sector’s conflict between economic growth and sustainability, the benefits of sustainable growth, and the best worldwide solutions and strategies. Anuga is emphasizing “Sustainable Growth” while also focusing on the industry’s commitment to and efforts to address environmental and climate-related issues. These and other subjects will be specifically handled in the context of Anuga’s event and congress program, in addition to being covered in the 10 trade exhibits.
There are significant difficulties in the global food industry: By 2050, the world’s population is expected to be over 10 billion, which would result in an increase in demand for food, particularly protein. The agriculture and food sector are under strain due to the threat of global climate change, energy and water limitations, and the loss of biological diversity. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is having negative economic and humanitarian impacts, such as disrupted supply lines and rising food and energy prices, which are making the situation worse. More than ever, there is a need for new products and solutions that will sustainably enhance the global food system.
The major theme for this year, “Sustainable Growth,” is exactly what Anuga is focusing on. A comprehensive congress and event schedule will be added to the top international trade show for the food industry, which also provides numerous possibilities for networking. The most significant issues facing the sector will be addressed, and ideas will be shown and discussed in the scope of conferences, seminars, experience zones, and speaker sessions, thanks to new partners including the EIT Food, Europe’s premier initiative for food innovations. The emphasis will be on topics such the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), transparency and traceability of supply chains and products, resource-efficient raw material farming, climate-friendly production, reducing food waste, and approaches to move toward a circular food system. Technological advancement also has a significant impact because it frequently serves as a catalyst for creative concepts and novel goods.
“The key challenge of the future will be promoting economic growth and sustainable development and at the same time making sure that the necessary natural resources are still available. In a time of disruptive change, which is influencing the global market sustainably, together with the exhibiting companies and leading institutions as well as experts, at Anuga we offer the opportunity for an intensive exchange of ideas and solutions. Our aim is to provide an holistic and international overview of approaches for a sustainable food system,” explained Stefanie Mauritz, director Anuga.
