Why should I take part?

How will it help me?
During this online Innovation Forum, you will…

This is an online session with a limited number of places available.

Registration is essential and is now open, you will receive calendar invites to all the presentations nearer the date.

Field and Forest Foods
Freat tasting and innovative plant based products which can be enjoyed by everyone – whether they are vegan or not. Because they are soya free (and in some cases gluten free) and because one of the main component ingredients is mushroom based, they very much tick the sustainability box. When you then factor in that this main ingredient is actually a by-product of mushrooms and which might ordinarily not get used, then this further enhances our sustainability credentials.
Field and Forest products are available from: Bako, Castell Howell, GC Birchall, Harlech, KFF, Lomond, Phillip Dennis, Turner Price and West Horsley Dairy. Contact Matt Kearslake for more information
