One of the major innovations of CFIA 2025!

 

 

For its 28th edition, CFIA Rennes promises some exciting surprises.

The Agro’Nova contest is the first in a long series.

The most enduring companies are those that know how to capture deep trends. The Agro’Nova space gathers a panel of solutions never before seen at CFIA Rennes—concrete and relevant solutions to help visitors tackle climate, economic, and societal challenges, and successfully navigate transitions.

Each year features a dedicated theme.

For 2025, the focus is: Eat Better to Age Better!

This is an invitation to a unique adventure for participants, transforming them into decision-makers through votes cast by visitors.

The 2025 theme: Eat Better to Age Better.

The accelerated aging of the global population presents significant challenges, especially regarding retirement, health, and autonomy.

By 2070, there will be more people over 65 than under 18.

In France, the over-65 demographic will reach 28% by 2050, and those over 85 will increase by 50% between 2030 and 2040.

Nutrition plays a key role in healthy aging, with specific needs such as protein intake (for sarcopenia), taste (flavor), softer textures, and senior-friendly packaging (easy to open, readable labels).

Here’s how the theme could unfold across several major categories of the food industry:

 

Ingredients & PAI

Natural ingredients without additives, tailored to seniors' nutritional needs, promoting a healthy diet.

Equipment & Processes :

Innovative machines that make food preparation simpler and safer for elderly individuals.

Packaging & Conditioning :

Labels with larger fonts and easy-to-open packaging for seniors.

Food Safety :

Solutions to ensure traceability and food safety—a priority for health-conscious consumers.

Artificial Intelligence:

Using AI to personalize senior nutrition based on their specific needs.
