Sustainable Nutrition

Sustainable nutrition is key to the future of the planet and a part of strategies for many companies in the food and beverage industry. It refers to our ability to provide positive and balanced nutrition solutions that help maintain good health but are also created in a way that does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their nutritional needs. This means an increased focus on sustainable farming and sourcing practices, closed-loop supply chains, finding health and nutrition value in waste streams, as well as developing solutions to feed populations in need. It also underlines the importance of understanding the impact functional ingredients can have on improving the sustainability of downstream products. For example, reducing sugar with taste modulators not only improves the nutritional quality of the product but also reduces the amount of raw materials required. Sustainable nutrition is at the heart of all top health and nutrition trends for 2021.
