Innovative Technologies
Innovative technologies and novel foods, like meat substitutes, are being introduced. Reducing plastic, promoting recycling and producing locally; these things are all high up on the agenda. It is therefore a given that the sector is in transition. Climate change, the energy transition, increasing digitisation and regulatory pressures are undeniably affecting the Food & Agri sector.
Experience & Involvement
Our Tier-1 Food & Agrisector team has accumulated years of experience with the issues at play in this fascinating sector. On a daily basis, we ensure that parties in the chain are and remain compliant with the current and ever-growing jungle of national and international food and agri regulations. In doing so, we act for all parties involved in the supply chain; from producers and suppliers of raw materials, semi-finished and finished products to processors of animal by-products.
