How can we secure the future of food?

PWC
About this episode

Food is essential for our health, survival and social well-being. 

 

But global food security is facing increased threats. Climate change, global tensions and supply chain disruptions mean our food systems are becoming more precarious. And as the global population grows, demand for food shows no signs of slowing. So, what role can businesses play in reimagining our food systems? And how can they help with the changes that will be required to secure our food supply for generations to come?  

  

In this episode of Take on Tomorrow, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke are joined by Rob Cameron, Global Head of Environmental, Social, and Governance Engagement at Nestlé, to find out how the company is working to build more resilient food systems. They also talk to Stuti Sethi, a thought leader with Strategy&, PwC’s global strategy consulting business, about the roles of business and government in strengthening food systems—and why a combined effort is so important for the future of food.
