Dialogue: Better for people, planet, and business – What does a nourishing,
sustainable, resilient and efficient food system look like for Africa?

By 2050, an increase of more than 50% of the currently produced food will be
required to feed an estimated world population of 10 billion, with 90% of the
population growth, taking place in Africa. Any further disruption will deepen
food vulnerability and inequality. Therefore, we are seeking strategies to
integrate dietary change into food system transformation supporting better
nutrition, leverage technologies and find solutions for sustainable, inclusive
food systems. They say to ‘survive and thrive’ producers must leverage modern
farming techniques, factories must transform the way they plan and supply chains
must undergo a complete overhaul, but what does this mean for your business?
Join this fireside chat and explore how to navigate the future, how COVID has
shifted innovation and nutrition security and what transformative scenarios have
been highlighted and show signs of becoming the new normal towards the future of
sustainable food systems.

 * What actions are in place within the food industry to contribute to the SDGs
   and reach net-zero?
 * What is the role of consumers in driving transformation?
 * What are the current emissions estimates of the food sector? What
   technologies are showing to be the most effective in shifting towards carbon
   neutrality?
 * What collaborations are enabling us to create system change?

Panelists:

Nicola Coundourakis, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Food Equity,
Equality & Diversity (FEED)

Hlalanathi Fundzo, Manager: Office of the Regional Director, UN World Food
Programme

Naude Malan, Senior Lecturer, University of Johannesburg

Miles Kubheka, Food Entrepreneur

12:00 – 13:00

Fireside chat: Functional ingredients – driving innovation towards more
nutritional foods

Manufacturers are increasingly focused on quality ingredients to improve taste
and increase quality ensuring their USP’s are enhanced. With consumers
constantly shifting tastes and behaviours and demands for products made with
transparency and purpose, we can expect to see brands using technology to meet
these new requirements. Join an engaging panel discussion and uncover how
shifting trends will impact what local ingredients are driving new creations.

 * What is the rationale for choosing an ingredient? What are the biggest
   drivers when creating a narrative around ingredient decisions?
 * What are the biggest hurdles to ensuring accessibility?
 * What technology platforms and toolboxes are being leveraged to discover and
   product new functional ingredients?

Moderator:

Adri Venter, Business Development Manager, Danlink Ingredients

Panel discussion: The global Halal economy – Trade insights, opportunities and
the impact of COVID

According to Pew Research Centre, the global Muslim population is anticipated to
reach 2.76 billion by 2050, accounting for 29.7% of the worldwide
population. The global halal economy is said to be worth US3.6 trillion by 2025.
Join this discussion and gain strategic insights and opportunities that exist in
Muslim markets, including the impact of COVID on trade – how to navigate new
markets post the pandemic and has arduous market access changed our perceptions
and forced us to trade more domestically?


Moderator:

Zaida Enver, Chief Executive Officer, Pure Grit


Panelists:
Ebrahim Patel, Chief Executive Officer, Magellen Management
Jardine Omar, Deputy Director – Advanced Manufacturing, Department of Trade and
Industry

Fireside chat: Evolving consumer trends – How are brands aligning with changing
consumer patterns

In the face of the pandemic, consumers have begun demanding greater diversity,
transparency, health, safety, convenience, and accessibility in our food supply.
This new realism is changing the relationship between retailers, brands and
consumers while accelerating innovation and the adoption of technology across
every part of the value chain, but what does this mean to be more resilient?
People are looking for foods that align with their political, social and ethical
values and if not able to find them are taking action to fill the gap and
co-creating products that meet their needs. Join this session and uncover how
shifting trends will impact new creations and how brands are rethinking their
strategies to include new ingredients and flavours.

 

Panelists:

Shereen Tromp, Senior Consultant, Euromonitor

Chef Linah Maruping, Executive Chef, Unilever Food Solutions

12:00 – 13:00

Fireside chat: The disrupted meal journey – Tapping into the informal retail
channels and what you need to know?

The informal retail trade fireside chat will shine the spotlight on today’s
informal retail sector and discuss strategies on how to tap into the thriving
informal value chain. We continue to see initiatives aimed at stimulating
entrepreneurship and tapping into low-economic consumer markets gain momentum,
but how can we better integrate informal vendors into a sustainable food
ecosystem and what does the post-COVID pandemic mean for food inaccessibility?
This discussion brings together leading experts to access scenarios on how to
tap into the informal retail market – route to market, pricing models, messaging
and new product categories.

13:00 – 14:00

Fireside chat: From bricks to clicks – How is ecommerce changing the way we eat

The pandemic has expanded how and where we shop with conventional grocery
retailing struggling to meet the demand by shifting buying patterns and
consumers turning to online, meal-kits and other delivery services. Join this
discussion and gain insights into what trends have staying power as retailers
invest in omni channel, digital technologies, a new approach to influencer
marketing and fulfilment strategies to solve their last mile challenges.
Possible discussion points:

 * What has been the impact of ecommerce and ultra-convenient food on what
   consumers eat? How is this affecting food brands and start-ups product
   strategies?
 * How much influence do retailers and food service companies have over what
   consumers eat? How are brands using social media platforms like TikTok to
   connect with consumers?
 * What does the data say about digital purchasing vs in store? What
   opportunities are there to incentivise specific product type purchases?
 * With a rise in at home cooking and working last year, what actually makes a
   successful food subscription?
 * What is the role of supply chain systems in supporting disruptions – natural
   disasters or the petroleum crisis we are experiencing?
 * What’s next – how will digitalisation in food production and distribution
   enable climate change, food security?

Panelists:

Lynton Peters, Chief Executive Officer, One-Cart

14:00 – 15:00

The impact of technology and 4IR and how does this influence and benefit the
growing halal industry

There is a steady increase in technology that will fundamentally influence the
way we live, work and interact with each other, conduct business and our
engagement with the environment. The digitisation of halal processes and supply
chains including access to big data analytics has the potential to address
various industry challenges. How can smarter processes and access to data drive
the success through traceability and consistency which are imperatives.

Nazreen Ebrahim, Founder & CEO, Naz Consulting

Workshop: What do retailers want?

Retail is renowned for being fast paced and highly competitive. If anything, the
pandemic has intensified this with evolving shopping habits and consumer needs,
and the growing adoption of digital shopping platforms. Rapid change and
volatility will continue to define the retail landscape into 2022 and beyond.
So, what are retailers looking for from new suppliers, how is the best way to
approach them and is retail even the best option for you and your products? Come
hear from a panel of retailers as they unpack how best to approach the retailer
of your dreams and find out the insider tips into what they are looking for.

 * What supplier support and development do retailers have available
 * What key considerations should be considered when dealing with retailers,
   distributors, and wholesalers – minimum orders, turn-around time, payment
   terms, insurance, exchanges and returns
 * What does it take to win shelf space?
 * Alternative to retail, maybe retail is not everyone? What are other
   opportunities
 * Overcoming the barriers to working with local suppliers – pricing,
   transparency, flexibility, quality
 * Investment

Kiba Bam, Managing Director, Kiba Bam Consulting
