• 545: Regenerative agriculture and the food service sector

  There is widespread agreement that regenerative agriculture has the potential to transform the global food industry, but how might that look in practice in the food service sector? In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded live at our event in Manchester in November 2024, our panel of experts answers that question. The food service supply chain has some unique challenges that, on the face of it, could make it more difficult to bring regenerative practices to the fore. But with every great challenge, comes great opportunity, and if this episode shows us nothing else, it reveals some of the great work that is already being done.

• 544: Nutraceuticals - the trends and challenges for 2025

  2025 looks like being the year of nutraceuticals, but what trends should we all have our eyes on? In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded live our event in Manchester in November 2024, we look at the evolving landscape of nutraceuticals.  Responding to the fact that women's health has been a dominant topic in recent years, we focus on men and nutraceuticals, a specific area where there is a gap in the market for men's supplements.  With consumer awareness rising and new data-driven formulations entering the market, men’s health supplements are undergoing a major transformation.  As our expert panel puts it, “It’s no longer just about a one-size-fits-all multivitamin - men are looking for targeted, science-backed solutions that support their long-term well-being.” Guests: Ashley English, Head of Product Development, HTC Health
