On June 13, The Washington Post will bring together entrepreneurs, food industry executives, scientists and farmers to discuss how technology and science are changing our modern food systems. They’ll discuss the business practices that are driving consumer demand, the innovations and new ideas that are shaping the future of what – and how – we eat and consider the policies that will regulate an increasingly complex global food market.
A closer look at the latest developments in food distribution and consumption -- from new delivery systems to changes in marketplace demand -- and the regulatory landscape that will shape a new era of food policy.
