What is FOOD FORWARD 2024?

NL Eats has been instrumental in uniting change-makers and stakeholders since 2020 through our flagship conference, "Food Insecurity in a Changing World," launched at the onset of the pandemic.

This year, we invite you to Food Forward 2024 with the aim of creating conversations and experiences that will inspire change.

The Hackathon is also a key highlight of the Food Forward 2024 event, adding an exciting opportunity for innovation and collaboration.
