Workshop by TrendsActive: Trends that influence Agrifood industry
The agricultural industry has meaningful and challenging responsibility, and that is to feed the 9 billion people who will be living on our planet in 2050. Working towards this aim we must be aware of societal trends that drive new expectations and create new opportunities for the industry. We have invited TrendsActive to present their insights on sociocultural trends, which are the changing values, needs, and behaviours of people, as well as shifts in society overall.
