Leadership Series: New Food’s Health Ingredients Month

Welcome to New Food magazine’s Leadership Series 2017.

In this bi-monthly feature, we will be asking leaders in the food and beverage industry to grant us unique and particular insight into innovations and issues that affect us every day. 

In our first edition that continues throughout February, New Food will present a compilation of exclusive insight from a multitude of nutrition and health ingredients experts.

Hearing from Mintel, Innova Market Insights and leading food ingredients consultants as well as insight from Beneo, Kerry and Arla, our aim is to pinpoint in particular how rapidly changing consumer trends are dictating how the food and beverage industry is evolving. 

For an initial look at who is directly contributing, we invite you to take a look at our graphic below and we hope that you enjoy the continuation of the series throughout 2017.
