EIT Food North-West Community Event: The Pathway to a Net-Zero Food System
Let’s work together to drive impact in regenerative agriculture and food manufacturing. If you work in regenerative agriculture or food manufacturing this event is for you!
About the event
The main theme for the event will be "the pathway to net zero", and it will focus on regenerative agriculture and food manufacturing.
We will explore the challenges around achieving net zero emissions in regenerative agriculture and food manufacturing and also look at the solutions that already exist. You will hear from a combination of large corporates, small businesses and other regional initiatives.
Together, we will discuss the priorities we want to address and the steps we need to take to help to achieve net zero emissions in our region.
You will also hear about funding and collaboration opportunities within and outside of EIT Food, as we want to support you to find calls and competitions that work for you and your organisation.
