It was a successful and interesting day for the Innovate for Planet Conscious Shoppers workshop, held last week at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Hosted by Food Innovation Wales and the Food & Drink Wales Cluster Network. Funded by Welsh Government.

Food & drink manufacturers from Mid and South West Wales took part in the New Product Development ideas workshop, with insight data about planet conscious shoppers. It was fantastic to see such a great turnout of Welsh food and drink producers.

Businesses went away with the knowledge and understanding of new market opportunities and future trends, which will support them in their New Product Development and make better informed choices to help reach the sustainable and innovative planet conscious market.
