Embassy of Food conference

What if the supermarket could play the role of Lifestyle Coach, where your personal details are used to generate nutritional advice or where you can test the state of your gut flora? What would the supermarket look like if you, the consumer, could grow new products and learn about innovative production methods? Or what if the supermarket was an entity that could make decisions that we can’t or don’t want to make?

Experience the advantages and disadvantages of possible developments and decide what your supermarket of the future should look like.
