IGD Future of the UK Food System 2026

What future are we creating for our food system? 

Join our one-day conference with food and drink leaders to explore the progress made since our inaugural event last year. This event brings retailers, suppliers, manufacturers, policymakers, and foodservice operators together to continue turning ambitions into action.  

Get expert views on what you need to know with a focus on positive, sustainable, and healthy outcomes for all.  

Last year's event defined the agenda, so this year we are following with how to deliver against it. We are moving focus from what needs to change to how change is happening.
