Track III: Health-Driven Innovation: From Science to Consumer Trends

10 Jun 2026
Summit | 10th June Summit 10th June Sessions Track III

Consumers are increasingly confused about the health of plant based foods, and in this presentation we will dig into the root of the problem - what people are worried about, where the misinformation comes from, and how it shapes trust. Using consumer insights alongside clear nutritional evidence and transparent communication, we’re showing why nutrition is core to the category’s credibility and how THIS is building a more accurate and positive story around plant based health.
