Next Welsh Government must support growth of vital food and drink industry
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) Cymru and the British Soft Drinks Association (BSDA) have today launched what it sees as the key priorities for the next Welsh Government.
The UK food and drink industry is operating in an increasingly global context and to stay competitive it must be constantly innovating. The FDF provides a hub where innovative ideas can come alive. Whether the driver is health and wellness, sustainability or something else, the FDF can be central to your ambitions.
Automation and manufacturing technology
Automation is likely to be a key development in food manufacturing as part of the need to increase efficiency and productivity.
Low carbon technology
As the UK embraces Net Zero Carbon targets, low carbon technology will be an important area for development.
National Food Strategy
FDF is working with members and key stakeholders to inform the upcoming National Food Strategy (NFS) for England. This includes engagement on the independent review led by Henry Dimbleby and the Government white paper.
Pre-competitive research priorities
Topics of shared interest to the food and drink sector that underpin progress towards key societal issues can be supported by pre-competitive research which we aim to identify with FDF members.
Resource efficiency
Doing more with less, has long been a focus for our sector but this will be even more of a priority going forward, and supports FDF's Ambition 2025.
