Session 1 - Green by Design: Innovating with Sustainability in Mind
Nearly all human activities can result in resource depletion, ecological damage, and environmental pollution. To minimize these potentially damaging effects, change is necessary towards a more responsible way of designing human activities. This includes food production and processing. To implement such change, we should apply sustainable design principles: consider and minimize environmental impact when developing ingredients, products, and food production processes. This can be done by finding ways to reduce waste, reuse resources, and recycle products and materials. This is known as the "3R principles", which can be further extended to the 10R principles: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Renew, Recharge (or Refill), Repair (or Remedy), Re-manufacture (or Recover), Replace (or Replant), Re-clear (or Refine) and Remove.
Chair: Bas Blaauboer, Emeritus professor of toxicology at Utrecht University (NL)

Session 2 - Up-cycling the up-cyclable: new perspectives in green, bio-based, and circular valorisation of food waste and food by-products
The agri-food chain is affected by resource scarcity, food loss, and waste and by-products production. A specific life cycle assessment of agri-food chains can highlight the critical points, elucidating the targets that research and policy management must work with in the near future. The EU waste policy aims to contribute to the circular economy by extracting high-quality resources from waste as much as possible. The European Green Deal aims to promote growth by transitioning to a modern, resource-efficient, and competitive economy. As part of this transition, green and bio-based approaches will drive new perspectives in food waste and by-products up-cycling, including recalcitrant biomasses. Fermentation, precision fermentation, and bio-catalysis coupled with other green approaches will permit the release of new processes, new products, and new capacities. This session will explore the crucial connections between the process technologies, the regulatory aspects (e.g. for novel ingredients) and the sustainable perspectives in the agri-food area, exploring the resilient capacity to drive the future human nutrition.

Session 4 - From the Ground Up: Exploring the Vital Links between Soil Health and Sustainable Food Systems
Soil is the foundation of our food system. Healthy soils are essential to provide healthy food, reverse biodiversity loss, and safeguard human health, but also for achieving climate neutrality, a clean and circular economy and halting desertification and land degradation. Yet it is estimated that 60 to 70% of European soils are unhealthy, degraded or depleted. We urgently need to protect and restore these invaluable resources, as outlined by the EU Soil Strategy for 2030. Soil regeneration offers a pathway forward, combining practices to improve soil health and productivity. This session will explore the crucial connections between soil, human and planetary health. Their understanding is key to design solutions for resilient agricultural systems and sustainable food production.

Session 6a - Forever Young: Exploring Solutions for Healthy Aging and Nutrition
The pace of population ageing is accelerating. The proportion of the world's population over 60 years will continue to grow in the upcoming years. This prolonged lifespan is accompanied by an upsurge in chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, cancer, sarcopenia, and degenerative conditions. Could ageing processes be delayed by intervention earlier in life? Research has revealed the connections between dietary quality and life expectancy, as well as the potential benefits of interventions such as caloric restriction, micronutrient supplementation, and consumption of antioxidants and functional foods. Additionally, incorporating sustainability in the pursuit of understanding ageing mechanisms and developing nutritional strategies aligns with a holistic vision of human and planetary health. This session proposes to explore how nutrition emerges as a natural arsenal in the fight against age-related ailments, as well as solutions that can be both effective for individuals and sustainable for generations to come.
Chair: Bruno Pot, Science Director Europe at Yakult (NL) and Chair of ILSI Europe

Session 6b - Panel Discussion on innovations in Food Safety
Food safety is under pressure from climate change, emerging raw materials, circular economy, and dietary changes. An adaption of food safety management systems is needed to make them more robust towards changes and hazards. Additionally, EU Member States aim to maintain the highest levels of food safety. In order to reach these highest standards and adapt to changing environment, there is a need for greater synergy among industry, regulators and researchers to 1) discuss and identify food safety priorities, 2) develop innovative solutions and 3) implement them by all players in the food chain into practice. This session will start with a presentation of 2 EU-funded projects, called CATALYSE and FoodSafeR. Then a tripartite panel will be discuss priorities, needs and barriers in the area of food safety. The audience is of course invited to actively participate in the discussion.

Session 7a - Redefining Resilience: Innovations for a Sustainable Food Future
There is an urgent need for food system change to improve both health and environmental outcomes in fairer and more equitable ways. Food needs to be healthy, accessible, and affordable for all citizens. No country is completely food secure, and we all rely upon food imports and exports. Pandemics, conflict and climate change have shown that our food system is vulnerable to environmental and geo-political shocks. There is a clear need to enhance food system resilience to further crises and stresses. Many argue that food should be more expensive, that we are not paying the true cost of the food we put on our plates. Yet, at the same time, we see a rise in the use of food banks and other charitable food provision because many people in our society cannot afford to feed themselves due to the cost of living crisis. This is a dilemma which faces the food industry, policy makers and consumers. A variety of solutions are proposed though it is clear that one size does not fit all. We need to address the whole food system to ensure access to safe, nutritious food for all. Where do we start?
Chair: Sara Monteiro Pires, Senior researcher at Denmark Technical University (DTU) and Head of PhD School at DTU Food (DK)
Speakers:
- Olivier Jolliet, Professor at Denmark Technical University (DK)
- Louis Hinzen, Senior Manager for Economic Affairs, Trade & Market Access Lead at FoodDrinkEurope (BE)

Session 7b - Defining Food Safety: Societal Expectations and Risk Perception
This session explores the definitions of food safety in relation to societal expectations. Building on insights from recent papers developed by expert groups of the ILSI Europe Food Allergy and Food Contaminants Task Force, we will discuss how contaminants are defined, perceived and controlled based on public concern, and how stakeholder input can shape the understanding of acceptable risk levels. The discussion will focus on the role of risk perception in determining what society deems safe, highlighting the importance of aligning food safety practices with public expectations.
Chair: Hans Verhagen, Food Safety & Nutrition Consultant (NL)

Session 8 - Taste the Future: A Journey into Tomorrow's Food Landscape
A growing number of food tech companies are using precision fermentation to create animal-free proteins, fats, and oligosaccharides in pursuit of a more sustainable future. New yeast and bacteria fermentation technologies turn simple inputs into a variety of high-quality nutritious fats and functional proteins with a far lower environmental impact than traditional agriculture can deliver. Moreover, the first large-scale robotic vertical farms produce spinach and berries. These urban farms aim to provide essential daily-life vegetables in a more operationally cost-efficient way than traditional farms. These developments show that our future food will likely come also from food grade controlled laboratories and controlled indoor vertical farms. How will our food look and taste in the future? Are consumers ready to consume these differently produced food products? How much should we inform or educate consumers about the origin of the nutrients they consume? Will there be resistance depending on the form of the foods? Let's delve into the questions that define the future of our food.
Chair: Carolien Van Loo-Bouwman, Senior Manager Nutrition & Innovation at Yili Innovation Center Europe (NL)
