Cambridge Forum for Future Food Supply Chains 2026

Supply chains are at the heart of how the world produces, distributes, and consumes food, and they are being tested as never before. Trade disruptions, geopolitical instability, and climate change are exposing structural weaknesses and forcing industries and governments to rethink food security as a cornerstone of national security.

In the UK, the food and drink industry is the nation’s largest manufacturing sector, playing a critical role in both economic stability and national wellbeing. As Britain becomes more dependent on imports from climate-vulnerable regions and faces declining domestic yields, strengthening resilience across the system has never been more important.

The Cambridge Forum for Future Food Supply Chains will bring together policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders to explore how to build future-ready food supply chains that support both global collaboration and national security in a sustainable way.
