SUMMARY:Feeding the Future: How Lessons From 2025 Will Shape 2026
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThe defining lesson of 2025 is that resilience\, not reactivity\, must become the global food sector’s new standard. Supply chains were tested by climate disruption\, geopolitical shocks\, and surging costs\, while consumer expectations and regulatory requirements continued to rise. At the same time\, businesses deepened their use of digital tools and began to test AI to strengthen transparency\, traceability and risk prediction—although many still face barriers from fragmented data and cultural resistance. \nLRQA’s latest food safety and culture benchmark confirms that most organizations now operate at a compliance-driven level\, with culture and early risk identification remaining the weakest links. The opportunity for 2026 lies in moving further upstream: embedding predictive insight\, strengthening human factors\, and redefining food safety KPIs alongside financial and sustainability metrics. \nThis webinar will bring together LRQA experts and industry leaders to examine how the events and lessons of 2025 will shape 2026. From managing new legislative requirements to addressing rising consumer scrutiny and “cancel culture\,” panelists will explore how businesses can build food systems that are digitally enabled\, culturally strong\, and capable of anticipating and preventing disruption.

SUMMARY:Protein Forecasting: Protecting Margins Through Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nVolatility across global protein markets is making poor forecasting increasingly expensive.\nPrice swings\, supply shocks\, and shifting demand across the US\, Europe\, and Asia–China are forcing procurement teams into reactive decisions\, often at the worst possible time. \nJoin Expana’s live Executive Intelligence Session on 23 April 2026 at 3:00 PM BST / 10:00 AM ET to explore how stronger forecasting can reduce costs\, improve timing\, and turn procurement into a strategic advantage\, with a focused lens on pork and chicken\, plus key signals across the broader protein complex. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nThe hidden cost of poor forecasting: Reactive buying\, missed windows\, and margin erosion in protein procurement.\nWhy protein markets are structurally complex: Feed costs\, supply concentration\, disease\, and demand volatility across interconnected regions.\nWhat high-quality forecasting looks like: Leading indicators and cross-market intelligence that separate winning strategies from common failures.\nSignals to watch and how to act: Key indicators signaling the next pricing inflection—and how to position ahead\, not react to volatility.
