                                    are the three global trends that formed the key
                                    themes of this year’s conference. They indicate
                                    how we have evolved as a society in our views
                                    on the food industry, how we consume food, and
                                    how our awareness of the impact of our food
                                    consumption has changed.

                                    Through the Summit, we hope to inspire the
                                    industry to establish uncommon collaborations to
                                    create future foods that are healthy, nutritious and

                              Asia is a very diverse region with different
                              characteristics across all markets, from population
                              demographics and religious traditions to the

                              But as far as diet is concerned, Asia still considers
                              safety as the primary consideration in comparison
                              to other issues such as sustainability and health.
                              However, the definition of safe foods varies for
                              each country and companies need to be aware

                              In the old days, consumer trust was aligned
                              with just manufacturer credibility and product

                              also requires intimacy, [which is conveyed] via
                              product personalisation; and a company purpose
                              that goes beyond profit and self-interest. [As such,
                              a company’s purpose should now] be aligned with

      KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is no one solution that can address the region’s plastic pollution problem. Instead, the issue needs
to be tackled with a multi-faceted approach. While the food and packaging industry continues to play
its part to drive innovation and investment to improve its environmental footprint, all stakeholders need to
work together to implement effective policies and regulations that support our plastics, packaging and solid
waste management systems.

      KEY TAKEAWAYS
The industry has made significant progress towards the development of healthy foods, but companies
need to be more aware of how they can make better use of technology to create products that satisfy
consumers’ tastes and preferences. They must also work hand-in-hand with consumers and government
bodies to create a supportive environment that encourages the adoption of healthier diets.

      KEY TAKEAWAYS
Convenience is impacting all touchpoints across the food supply chain and there are huge opportunities
for businesses that can adapt and innovate to meet the speed and need for convenience. However, when
developing solutions, food businesses must ensure they provide healthy, fresh options that are convenient
without compromising on taste.
