Main Stage
Main Stage
  • Across commodities - from cocoa to grains and oils - what does it take to move alternative ingredients and underutilized crops from pilots to global scale through effective partnerships between startups, processors, and major brands?
  • As climate and price volatility intensify across commodity markets, how can alternatives be positioned as resilience tools within existing portfolios, and how is risk shared across the value chain?
  • Where are the critical gaps in processing, standards, and logistics that limit scale today, and how do we ensure farmers and origin communities remain central to future commodity value chains?
  • Which regulatory, labeling, or market signal would most accelerate adoption and investment in future commodities by 2030?
