Exploring opportunities and challenges for the food manufacturing sector to develop higher value products from food production side streams.

In this webinar we will explore the opportunities and challenges for the food manufacturing sector to improve its financial and environmental sustainability by developing the production of higher value products such as chemicals, materials and fuels from food production side streams.Yorkshire is a national stronghold for innovation in this area due to its high concentration of major food manufacturers, and because of specialist research and scale-up facilities at the University of York. It also helps meet our ambitions to become a carbon zero circular region: Circular Yorkshire.
