The State of Upcycling Globally: From Momentum to Market Adoption

Food upcycling is rapidly evolving from an emerging sustainability concept into a global movement that is reshaping how the food industry creates value from underutilised resources. Join the Upcycled Food Association (UFA) and Foodvalley for an interactive session exploring the latest developments in food upcycling and the collaborations driving market adoption across regions and value chains.

UFA will present a global perspective on the state of upcycling today, highlighting key developments, challenges and opportunities shaping the future of food upcycling.

Foodvalley will showcase how international collaboration can accelerate the adoption of upcycled ingredients and products, sharing insights on scaling solutions across value chains and exploring how upcycling increasingly connects with wider food system transitions, including protein diversification, product reformulation and sustainable ingredient innovation.

Following the presentations, participants are invited to join an interactive networking discussion facilitated by UFA and Foodvalley. Through a series of provoking questions and statements, attendees will exchange experiences, explore opportunities and build new connections with fellow innovators.
