Medication for the Nation: Is Food the Future of Medicine?

Covid has forced us to bring the link between nutrition and health to the forefront of our minds and conversation. So, now more than ever, it’s important that we (the food industry, its innovators and investors) work side by side with our healthcare systems in creating new solutions.

During this session we’ll be exploring food as medicine and its applications. Join us to learn about the opportunity for food in healthcare and medicine, as well as discover the companies, experts, game-changers and innovations across the globe that are not only tackling healthcare and wellness using food and drink based innovations and programmes, but those also taking a holistic and nutrition based approach to health and wellness in general.

We’ll be exploring functional foods, nutritional programmes, product innovations and new ingredients addressing specific health problems that are backed by clinical trials, scientific research and sophisticated AI systems.

Come ready to discover personalised nutrition plans that drive health, programs designed to starve cancer cells, typically high GI foods with zero glycemic index, patented brain health and brain nutrition products, as well as the ai systems and research that are unlocking plant-based healing properties through peptides. We'll be landscaping food as medicine and helping to bring it to life with real-world examples. What’s coming next, where are the roadblocks and how viable could these solutions be for the global health crisis we are currently facing? Can we feed the nation or even the global population back to health?
