interpack: Save Food Congress 2017

For its 3rd edition, the Save Food Congress held on 4 May 2017 as part of interpack 2017 trade fair in Düsseldorf/Germany will pursue a multi-dimensional approach for fighting food losses and waste. In its sixth year, this initiative of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and Messe Düsseldorf has more than 850 members from industry, associations, research institutes and NGOs.

The speakers from political circles, the food and packaging industries, retail, research and civil society represent at Congress Center Süd of the Düsseldorf exhibition centre a global but also detailed perspective focusing on details and national conditions. The congress again provides participants with a forum for mutual exchange as well as for identifying and sharing best practices. One of the opening speeches of the one-day congress will be presented by Kostas G. Stamoulis, Deputy Director General of the Economic and Social Development Department of the FAO. In his talk he will deal with the challenges of global nutrition in the 21st century.

For the entire duration of interpack from 4 to 10 May, trade fair visitors will be able to find out about concrete solutions and approaches revolving around Save Food at the innovationparc. Some 20 companies will be exhibiting there on approximately 2,500 sqm in a high-quality marquee between Halls 2 and 3. A lecture forum complements the exhibitors’ ranges over all days of the exhibition.
