Food Matters Live Turns the Spotlight on Natural and Organic

The event is free to attend and is expected to see over 12,000 visitors from the world of food retail, manufacturing, government and healthcare.

Matters of health, ethics and wellbeing are currently strong influencers of the shopping habits of consumers, and the event offers retailers insight into how they can help promote a healthy and sustainable lifestyle within their businesses.

Visitors will learn about the latest innovations in nutrition, packaging and marketing strategies to build consumer loyalty through a wide range of seminars from industry experts including Rebecca Raynor, managing director of Glebe Farm Foods, Alex Smith from Alara Wholefoods and founder of Green & Black’s Organic Chocolate, Craig Sams.

The show will also play host to the Enterprise Zone, a collection of both new and established ’better for you’ and healthy food and drink from brands including Coconut Merchant, The Nude Spoon, Ombar Chocolate and Islander Kelp, and Meet the Buyer, an opportunity to share ideas and opinions with fellow visitors and exhibitors.

New for this year’s show is the Tea Garden, an area of interactive demonstrations featuring businesses such as Teatox and Finlay Tea Solutions.

Briony Mansell-Lewis, director of Food Matters Live said, “Over three days, Food Matters Live provides a unique opportunity to forge industry relationships with some of the most influential people in food, health and nutrition – and experience first hand the latest innovations shaping a sustainable future for food and drink.”
