Sustainability Trends in Food Ingredients

16 Jun 2023

In this series of webinars, 1-2-Taste’s Jasper Schouten, CEO and Co-founder, speaks with ingredients suppliers about market trends, product innovation, best practices, supplier challenges, and more.

For this episode of our series of blogs and podcasts, we will explore the importance of sustainability in food ingredient development and the role played by different companies in shaping this trend. In this podcast, Jasper Schouten, CEO and Co-founder of 1-2-Taste sat down with representatives of Solidaridad Network, Peel Pioneers, Agrosingularity, Moringa Wize, and Profound - Advisers In Development who provided their unique insights on developing a prototype, achieving prototype status, managing procurement, and overseeing the supply chain. You'll gain a deeper understanding of how sustainability is becoming a key driver in the food industry, and how businesses are adapting to meet the growing demand for sustainable practices.

The 5 tips for sustainable practices in the food industry coming out of the interviews with different experts in the food industry:

1. Sustainability is no longer just a trend but a necessity due to the serious issues that exist in the food industry's supply chain. Businesses need to transform the way they operate and move away from being profit-driven at the cost of lowering input costs and labor.
2. There is a growing market for sustainable ingredients, and companies need to create sustainable ingredients that meet market needs.
3. Companies can reduce waste by transforming agricultural surpluses and by-products into high-value food ingredients through upcycling.
4. Sustainability is a core value of a company, but finding the right cost-quality balance is key to market success.
5. Companies need to be flexible and adaptable to changing market conditions and client preferences to achieve long-term success.
