Sustainability Breakfast: Supply Chain Resilience – planning for 2027 and beyond
Join us this Autumn for our upcoming sustainability breakfast - “Supply Chain Resilience – planning for 2027 and beyond”.
2026 is another year of climatic and geopolitical challenges with impacts on our supply chains and a ‘Super El Nino’ on the way.
As we look out to 2027 and beyond, this event will explore how businesses are responding across energy, fresh produce and wider crops, and the mitigation strategies they can employ to build greater resilience.
FDF and a panel of experts will cover topics including sourcing strategies, investment in regenerative farming practices, and how a move to electrification can reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Reserve your place at this networking breakfast to connect with industry peers and FDF’s sustainability team, gain valuable insights from industry experts, and be part of the conversations driving resilience across the food and drink supply chain.
