Dialogic, in collaboration with Flanders’ FOOD, organised various workshops in recent months to develop roadmaps with stakeholders from the agro-food industry on important future themes. These themes included personalised nutrition (for target groups and on an individual level) and the topic of resources+.
During the workshops, a shared vision and ambition for 2030 were formulated. Additionally, several promising sub-themes that should be focused on were identified. These themes were then elaborated on further: what actions are needed? Which stakeholders play a role? What are the critical success factors and potential risks? The extensive input gathered during the workshops will be incorporated into the final roadmaps in the coming period.
Personalised nutrition at group level involves tailoring certain types of food for specific target groups, such as the elderly, athletes, people with allergies, etc. Personalising food at an individual level goes a step further. It entails customising food for a specific individual, taking into account their specific nutritional and medical needs and preferences. Resources+ mainly refer to functional resources. This can involve enriching food products with nutrients that serve specific functions in the body (such as vitamins and minerals, probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants), but also resources/products that are naturally richer in certain nutrients (e.g. seaweed, superfruits, and chocolate).
