The Next Era of Agrifood & Health Innovation

Agrifood and its associated health industries are undergoing a pivotal transformation. Innovation priorities are shifting fast as regional politics, climate disruption, evolving consumer demands, and resource constraints push companies to make smarter, more strategic decisions — especially as many technologies reach the end of their first innovation cycles. 

The era of following hype is over. The question is no longer whether to innovate but how to place the right bets. Success depends on recognizing not just emerging technologies but new pathways for existing ones to unlock growth. Precision fermentation, smart packaging, biosensing, and precision agriculture each offer potential, but real impact requires a fundamental shift in how organizations prioritize innovation. 

Lux’s analysis shows that enhanced health and reduced harm now lead as the strongest growth drivers, as the once-vague goal of sustainability evolves into clear targets: resilience, bioeconomy-driven growth, and effective packaging. At the same time, companies must do more with less, making purposeful innovation more critical than ever. 

In this webinar, we’ll share our latest research on agrifood and health innovation, examining how regional risks, regulatory shifts, and emerging technologies are reshaping strategy. You’ll gain insights into the themes that will define innovation success in 2026 and beyond and learn where your organization must lead, not follow.
