    No sector of the food and beverage business may be hotter than natural and organic foods and drinks. This webinar takes a look at emerging trends in this area including healthy fat sources like avocado, the appearance of protein in new places, innovation in carbohydrate alternatives, and “better for you” substitutes for carbonated soft drinks.

    While natural and organic food and drink products are often lumped together as one, there are important distinctions between “natural” and “organic.”

    These distinctions will be reviewed along with consumer survey data that will reveal how consumers globally feel about natural and organic foods and beverages. See what attracts consumers to this sector, and what characteristics they see as compatible with the natural and organic concepts.

    Attend this webinar and find out what new developments may be waiting in the wings to shape and change new product innovation in natural and organic foods and drinks.
