Reimagining our food and food systems

Exclusive webinar series

The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating a transformation in our food and food systems. The closing of borders and restrictions in out-of-home channels have posed serious challenges to the food sector, both in terms of accessing consumer markets and supply. But this crisis also provided opportunities. New partnerships emerged and the value of digital and data has never been more evident. We surprised ourselves by how innovative, agile and fast paced we could be in times of need. It created momentum and gave us the confidence that change is possible.

We invite you to our “Reimagining our food and food systems” webinar series, to explore how food, agricultural businesses and retailers can transform themselves to build more resilience in their networks and seize the opportunities that this new world has created.

Upcoming webinar: Transforming consumer connections

    COVID-19 has amplified the focus on our health – not only our physical, but also mental wellbeing. It has provided food businesses with the opportunity to address these needs and make a real difference. We are already seeing a rise in functional foods - targeting cognitive and physical performance, alternative proteins, personalised and precision nutrition. Imagine what more could be done once we start to provide holistic health solutions to consumers by unlocking the power of partnerships and data. Join Vanessa Matthijssen, Deloitte Australia’s Consumer Products lead in an engaging Q&A-style webinar to explore the intersection of food and health.

    Guest speakers:

    • Kathy Karabatsas, Managing Director at Lion Dairy & Drinks Pty Ltd
    • Dr Nathan O'Callaghan, Precision Health Future Science Platform Lead at CSIRO
    • Shelley Roberts, Managing Director at Compass Group Australia
    • Dr Stephanie Allen GAICD, Global Health Leader, Deloitte.

    The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating a transformation in our food and food systems. The closing of borders and restrictions in out-of-home channels have posed serious challenges to the food sector, both in terms of accessing consumer markets and supply. But this crisis also provided opportunities.

    It brought food organisations closer to the consumer and the farmer. New partnerships emerged and the value of digital and data has never been more evident. We surprised ourselves by how innovative, agile and fast paced we could be in times of need. It created momentum and gave us the confidence that change is possible.
