With your unwavering support, we have grown to become a leading source of information, keeping you at the forefront of the latest trends and advancements in the global food sector. Dear Readers, Welcome to the September 2025 edition of Food – Drink & Innovations, where we bring you thought-provoking stories and in-depth analysis of the trends transforming the global food and beverage landscape. This month, our editorial team has carefully curated topics that not only reflect the most important conversations in the industry but also highlight the direction in which the sector is heading — sustainability, technology, and market evolution. Packaging continues to take center stage as both a sustainability and branding imperative. In our feature “FMCG Packaging Revolution: How Sustainability is Shaping Consumer Choices”, we explore how eco-friendly packaging has become more than a compliance requirement — it is now a powerful tool influencing consumer buying decisions. From recyclable materials to smart designs that reduce waste, sustainability is increasingly driving innovation and trust in the FMCG sector. Another highlight of this issue is the deep dive into “India’s Dairy Industry: From Rural Backbone to Global Powerhouse.” Long regarded as the foundation of rural livelihood, India’s dairy sector is evolving into a global force through modernization, improved supply chains, and rising consumer demand. This article reflects on how the sector balances tradition with innovation while continuing to play a crucial role in both rural development and international trade. Finally, we look at how technology is reshaping the industry’s future with “Shaping the Future of Food: How AI and Robotics are Driving a USD 28.61 Billion Automation Boom by 2034.” Automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics are not only enhancing efficiency and safety but also redefining how food is processed, packaged, and delivered worldwide. This feature provides insights into how businesses can prepare for and benefit from this wave of transformation. With sustainability, growth, and innovation at the core, this edition is a reflection of the dynamic and ever-changing food and beverage industry. We hope these stories inspire you with fresh perspectives, spark new ideas, and provide valuable knowledge to navigate the opportunities ahead. Thanks you A.
