CPF invites everyone on a journey to trace the path to sustainable food with "The Journey of Foodiversity" at SX 2026, discovering the stories behind every meal toward food security on a balanced ecosystem.

Opening the experience with "The Journey of Foodiversity," visitors board a time machine tracing food's journey from a special meal back to its source, exploring connections between innovation, people, and nature to collectively create food security on a balanced ecosystem. Guests can enjoy CP Catering and Five Star while discovering the value behind food — both environmentally conscious production and career opportunity creation. Join us at SX 2026 from November 6–15, 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.

Every meal has a story that begins far beyond the plate — natural resources nurturing production, farmers' care, and technology delivering food to consumers. Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CPF) conveys these connections through the "Foodiversity" concept, blending Food Security with Biodiversity. This reflects that safe, nutritious, and sufficient food for all in the long term must go hand in hand with protecting, maintaining, and restoring nature as the source of food.

CPF invites everyone to discover the meaning of Foodiversity through everyday food stories at "The Journey of Foodiversity" exhibition at Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX 2026), ASEAN's largest sustainability fair. The interactive and immersive learning experience lets visitors see connections between food, people, and nature, while exploring the roles of innovation, responsible production, and ecosystem stewardship in creating food security.

This exhibition aligns with SX 2026's "Adapt, Accept, Change" concept, inviting visitors to first recognize food system challenges — climate change, water resource pressure, biodiversity loss, and food waste — before stepping into the role of "chooser" by selecting a favorite menu, then tracing where each food comes from and how each meal's choices link to the future of food.

A key highlight is the "FOODIVERSITY Time Machine" taking visitors back along the food trail from plate to production source through digital windows telling the story of the complete business cycle — from animal feed production, animal farming, to food production — while exploring AI and smart technology's roles in boosting production efficiency and resource management, plus collaboration with farmers and partners to deliver quality food to consumers.

From the food production journey, visitors experience nature's importance through an immersive LED tunnel conveying stories of protecting and restoring resources from forests, water sources, to coastal ecosystems — showing that balanced ecosystems are the vital foundation of food and all life — before closing with games and photo activities to translate learning inspiration into daily action.

Additionally, CPF invites guests to enjoy CP Catering and Five Star. CP Catering presents special menus connecting familiar flavors with care behind ingredients — animal welfare-conscious farming, technology use, and clean energy. Five Star adds a sustainability dimension through food business that creates opportunities for small entrepreneurs.
