🌾 Calling all private sector professionals across the food value chain!

Thank you to EUFIC - European Food Information Council for helping spread the word! Together with our partners at the Whole Grain Initiative, we're bringing this webinar back for a third session — on 13 October, 16:00–17:00 CEST.

Consumer demand for healthier, more sustainable food continues to grow, and the science behind the health benefits of whole grains is well established. Yet in most markets, whole grain consumption still falls well below recommended levels — a public health challenge, but also a real opportunity for businesses ready to lead.

In this free session, we'll explore:
🌾 Why whole grains are becoming a strategic business opportunity
🌾 What actions companies across the food value chain can take to increase availability, visibility and uptake
🌾 How to move from intention to implementation, including collaboration through the Whole Grain Initiative

The conditions for change are in place. The question is: will you lead?

We are delighted to introduce two more outstanding keynote speakers joining us at the 9th International Conference on Dietary Fibre 2026 (DF26)! 🎉

🌿 Annegret Bögner — Expert in Nutrition and Regulatory Affairs at J. Rettenmaier & Söhne (JRS), Germany, one of the world’s leading innovators in plant-based fibre technology. Bringing together nutrition science, food regulation and industry expertise, Annegret works at the intersection of dietary fibre research, functional food development and international regulatory frameworks. Her current interests focus particularly on the fermentability and physiological effects of insoluble dietary fibre, including its potential role in supporting gut health and preventing metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

🔬 Christophe Courtin — Full Professor at the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Biochemistry, KU Leuven, Belgium. His research explores cereal constituents and dietary fibre, the enzymes that degrade them, and the role of microorganisms in cereal processing and health. Christophe coordinates the Horizon Europe HealthFerm project and has authored or co-authored more than 350 peer-reviewed papers, alongside patents in 12 patent families. He also organised and chaired the 8th Dietary Fibre Conference in Leuven together with ICC.

🌾 Together, they bring complementary perspectives from industry and academia, linking fundamental fibre science with food innovation, regulation and real-world applications.

📍 Join us in Norwich, UK, from 6–8 October 2026 for DF26 – “Dietary Fibre in Focus: Bridging Science, Technology, and Global Health” – and hear leading experts from around the world discuss the latest developments shaping dietary fibre science, technology and health.
