We have an interesting presentation on plastics reduction barriers and drivers in food processing that we could present if you think it would be of interest to your audience [@Heidi Loney](https://www.cfin-rcia.ca/network/members/profile?UserKey=53be1713-bd47-4e45-8305-b88f8cd83fc9)  Also bringing this to the attention of [@Richard Baker](https://www.cfin-rcia.ca/network/members/profile?UserKey=e69b4f06-c57f-4e06-aa64-7777997ef73e) , [@Jo-Ann McArthur](https://www.cfin-rcia.ca/network/members/profile?UserKey=bff0bae9-cec7-4490-b745-fbc9d69dd9f8) and @Birgit Blain who always have good content.   [@David Kaczmarek](https://www.cfin-rcia.ca/network/members/profile?UserKey=9c130eed-8722-499a-b2ec-37c0399800cd) I bet this group would be super interested in packaging claims as well.    ---

Good morning Dana, That sounds like a fascinating topic. I will send you an email if that is okay. Kind regards, ---

Hi Heidi, Would it be possible to know a bit more about the audience? Are these students? Or people already in industry. Would be open present on topics around restauration and consumer trends if that would be of interest. ---

Good morning Mansib, Thank you for responding to my post. I think consumer trends would be an interesting topic. Our webinars are for the association of the Canadian Institute of Food Science and Technology (CIFST). Our members consist of academics, industry and government individuals in Canada but also students in food science and nutrition. Kind regards, Heidi. ---

Hello Heidi, In 2021, I conducted a syndicated study into consumer perspectives on plant-based meat. The study was based on the responses of 1,000 Canadian consumers. If there's sufficient interest, I'd be happy to give a presentation highlighting some of the observations and conclusions from the study. I would definitely not treat this as a sales pitch, but I would like to mention, during the course of the presentation, that it is my intention to repeat the study (or to conduct another one very similar to it) in 2023. Would that be acceptable? Thanks, Doug ---

Hi Doug, This sounds great! Would you mind emailing me at heidi@cifst.ca and we can discuss? Thank you! Kind regards, Heidi. ---
