So excited for the @AbpFoods Future Generation of Food Forum just before the @CityFoodLecture on Monday. Will be great to hear such inspirational speakers presenting to students and people early in their food careers. fruitnet.com/fresh-produce-… @HarperAdamsUni


CFDL chair John Giles says of the Future Generation Forum (FGF), Sponsored by @AbpFoods : “It's a very important part of Lecture day, addressing the most important contemporary issues of the day - and for tomorrow - facing the UK & international agri food and drink supply chain”


We'd like to give a special thank you to @AbpFoods, for sponsoring the Future Generation Forum. The ABP team spoke of the abundance of opportunities in pursuing any career in the journey from farm to fork, ending with an engaging Q&A session with the 80+ students attending.
