Strategic Partnerships

Future Food Movement partners with organisations that want to lead the conversation, build credibility and accelerate positive change across the food system.

Our partnerships go far beyond event sponsorship. We work with organisations to convene influential conversations, develop future leaders, generate industry insight and connect with the people shaping the future of food.

Whether your objective is raising profile, engaging customers, supporting industry capability or demonstrating leadership on a strategic issue, we'll build a partnership that delivers meaningful value for your organisation and for the wider food system.

Helping organisations shape the future of food

Why partner with Future Food Movement?

01
Reach the people shaping the future of food

Our community brings together senior leaders from across retail, manufacturing, foodservice, agriculture, finance, policy, academia, technology and investment.

Partnership gives you direct access to the conversations, relationships and communities influencing where the industry goes next.

02

Strategic partners

  • "Having led change inside large organisations and worked across government, policy and innovation, I know how difficult it is to drive long-term change when you're constantly balancing competing pressures. It can be an incredibly lonely place to be. That's why I think Future Food Movement is so valuable. It creates a trusted community where leaders can think together, challenge each other and make sense of the complex forces shaping the future of food."

    Polly Mackenzie
    CEO of Zinc Innovation Partners and former Director of Policy to the Deputy Prime Minister

  • "We chose to partner due to the shared mission around helping the food industry move to a sustainable future. Future Food Movement are excellent at convening many of the most influential industry leaders, and we believe this is a great opportunity to partner to achieve our shared goals."

    Streisan Bevan
    Chief Impact Officer, Foodsteps

  • "A lot of people I speak to end up trapped in their own problems, the challenges of their own businesses. What Future Food Movement offers is the chance for people to experience those problems together and understand there's a commonality of challenge, and potentially a commonality of solution. It's a genuine leveller, the opportunity to see and address the problems we all face, through each other's different lenses and experience."

    Chris Hatcher
    Head of FMCG Practice, Redgrave Search

  • "The convergence of agricultural health and human health is the next great economic frontier. However, just as in nature, successful evolution requires a coordinated system of actors, not silos. Future Food Movement enables us to drop the mask and have the fearless, honest conversations that are impossible elsewhere. To drive true systems transformation, I need to hear the truth from the ground up, not just the polished version."

    Antony Yousefian
    Partner, The First Thirty

  • "Manufacturing plays a critical role in the food system, influencing progress up and down the chain. Future Food Movement is a rare space to bring together diverse perspectives and confront the real tensions we face, from climate and health to trust and affordability. Honest dialogue matters, especially when it comes to the role of meat in sustainable diets. This is a moment to listen, challenge and build solutions that are workable in the real world."

    Lorna Schneider
    Chief Quality & Sustainability Officer, Hilton Foods

  • "We definitely need to scale up health and sustainability goals to take an industry-wide approach across the full supply chain in the UK and Future Food Movement is a great platform for that."

    Ruth Cranston
    Director of Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability, Sainsbury's

  • "Driving food system change is a shared responsibility across all business functions, and initiatives like Future Food Movement helps people see how everyday decisions can make a difference."

    Jo Lunn
    Senior Health & Nutrition Manager, Waitrose

  • "It's been brilliant to be part of an evening like this. The biggest thing for leadership right now is realising we have so much more in common than we think, and that we need to work together as an industry, as partners across the food system, to support what matters most: giving our customers and communities better, healthier, sustainable diets that are affordable, and that work for the supplier base too, not just the customer. "

    Oonagh Turnbull
    Head of Health and Sustainable Diets Campaigns, Tesco
