Collaboration – the Future of Food Innovation

Central room C

As one of Australia's most important industries, food and agriculture faces significant challenges - from climate impacts to future workforce. Collaboration can be defined simply as ‘two or more people working together towards shared goals’. Breaking this down, there are three parts:

1. Two or more people – this could be a team from the same organisation or across many organisations or sectors of the agrifood industry
2. Working together – this encompasses processes, and should embrace innovative ways of thinking and working
3. Shared goals – the team working together for a shared outcome.
Collaboration requires trust to be built within the team for the shared goals and outcomes to be realised. In this session you will hear from companies who have collaborated to innovate – learn about what they did differently to create change and develop successful products. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with speakers in a panel session Q & A following the presentations.
