The Great New Idea
In support of new launches, and to make sourcing those as easy as possible, we ran the 'Great New Idea' initiative.
Visitors were asked to vote for the best product they saw and, corroborated by an independent judging panel, Eat Balanced won hands down the accolade of Best New Idea 2012 with the world's first nutritionally balanced pizza. |

The Live Events
The live events were a central component of this year’s show with a comprehensive programme of culinary demonstrations, interactive debates, key skills advice and tastings featuring leading industry experts hosted at The Brainfood Factory and Farm Shop & Deli Live.
Levi Roots drew a crowd of over 300 people for his session on his journey from Dragon slayer to Sauce Man...he even gave us a song!
The Observer's Jay Rayner talked about the history of food availability and pricing and offered a global perspective on food security; "The world is not one big breadbasket. British supermarkets need to pay more to British producers to increase our self-suffiency. We need to be in a position to supply ourselves."
The Rt Hon Jim Paice MP walked the show floor, stopping to speak with a number of exhibitors including Cole's Traditional Foods and Kitchen Garden.
In his keynote address at Farm Shop & Deli Live he was keen to piont out that while domestic demand for locally grown and produced food was fresher and better for communities, the UK should also be looking to export and open up new markets.
