As consumers around the world become more discerning and eating habits evolve, food producers have their work cut out for them. To keep up with trends in a world inching towards healthier, smarter, more sustainable food, the industry needs to innovate continuously.
Estonia, for one, is stepping up to the challenge. Quick to react and adapt to changing moods thanks to its small size and forward-thinking approach, this tiny Northern European country today exports its clean Nordic flavours to upwards of 100 markets around the globe.
And with good reason. With some of the cleanest air in the world and nearly a fifth of its farmland organic, Estonia is the second-largest organic farming country in Europe and has the planet’s second-cleanest food.
Some of the country’s top food producers are bringing the flavour to Gulfood this year, ready to show the world how to do clean and green the Nordic way.
