IGD makes a difference by providing market intelligence, supply chain best practice and consumer insight to the food and grocery industry worldwide.

Our remit as a charity is to help advance the industry and to develop and inspire those within it.  The income generated from membership subscriptions helps us to fund these activities:
 

Industry Programmes

IGD drives sustainable improvements for consumers and the food industry through collaboration and sharing of best practice along the supply chain. IGD helps consumers and the industry to make informed choices on diet, nutrition and health.
