FoodHacks converge on London 16-18 October!

How can we use technology to make healthy eating cool for a generation of young people brought up in a culture where less healthy brands have the biggest marketing budgets?

Now isn't that a good question! Its simply not enough though just to create healthier food & drink but they have got to get into consumers' hands (often 'round staid retailers) and folks need to want them. Using technology to make healthy eating more accessible AND cool is key!

The great thing is that some really smart and dedicated folks have put together a very special event during the weekend of 16-18 October here in London that will try to answer this exact question.

FoodHack is the first innovation-driving food tech event of it's kind in London, and one of the main events of London Food Tech Week - a week-long celebration and showcase of the new trends, ideas and companies transforming the food technology space and the #FutureofFood (16-23 October).

I was deeply touched by the energy, vision, and passion of FoodHack organisers - Nadia El Hadery, Victoria Albrecht, Umesh Kumar, Mark Corbett - in wanting to help create solutions to real food industry problems.

That FoodHack has managed to get the likes of Jamie Oliver and Google - among others - involved in this event is simply brilliant. Tg Green Teas - a new British brand that offers a modern take on ancient wellness traditions - will of course be there to refresh participants all weekend long.

FoodHack kicks off this Friday so not much time left for developers, designers, biz dev-ers and all round food enthusiasts to join us for a weekend of problem solving, and building the solutions of tomorrow, that the food industry needs today.

Is sugar the new tobacco? Yes!....unless we do more

Ian Quinn 's article in The Grocer , " FDF head calls out NHS boss over sugar claims " [subscription may be required] covers the Food and Drink Federation's response to a comment NHS head Simon Stevens ' made in a BBC interview over the weekend in which he suggested the obesity crisis was the " new smoking ". Soft Drink and Tobacco parallels As someone who’s worked in both the soft drink and tobacco industries , I empathise with Simon Stevens linking obesity with smoking. After sitting through thousands of interviews with smokers up and down the country talking about obstacles to quitting tobacco etc. – and observing numerous food & drink consumer research before and since then – it’s clear that there are huge parallels between triggers of the emerging obesity crisis and smoking e.g. pitched initially as “ cool ” and a “ lifestyle/generational choice ” (especially soft drinks ) but later becoming hard to shake off owing to physica

Is Kraft Heinz dropping the Unilever acquisition just an interlude?

(c) 2012 Convergence Alimentaire blog image I cut my FMCG marketing teeth at Unilever and ended my full-time global food & drink industry career at Kraft/Mondelez. I now run a healthier drinks startup business ( drinktg.com ) alongside a global innovation consultancy where I work as an "extrapreneur" supporting companies wanting to remake their portfolios to better fit emerging consumer needs for healthier products......so I am perhaps in a unique position to give a point of view. If you are Dutch or British, you feel closer culturally to Unilever and few people living in the UK will have forgotten Kraft's poor treatment of people & assets post Cadbury's acquisition . However, the reality is that the vision and values of both companies are not so dissimilar and both are facing the same fundamental shifts in consumer behaviour & needs in relation to "big FMCG/CPG" brands in both developed and the "developing" world.

Let them drink birch! 3 reasons why we shouldn't

The new "sweet spot" for soft drinks today After many years' marketing/innovating brands for global food & drink companies (including Coca-Cola and Unilever), I opted to launch a beverage #startup in order to respond quicker/better to evolving health & wellness trends. After reviewing numerous consumer, retailer & market research data and chatting with folks up and down the country on what they were looking for in a healthier drink while testing prototypes, it is clear that consumers are looking for 3 things these days from their beverage choice, namely (i) less of the "bad stuff", (ii) more innate, natural functionality, and (iii) something that can be "daily habit forming". Being able to deliver on all 3 consumer "wants" is in my view the "sweet spot" for a soft drink today. The essence of this "sweet spot" is shown here: A retailer response that would make Marie Antoinette proud Getting to
