Females in Food has published its first State of Women in Food & Beverage executive summary, revealing ongoing workplace challenges that affect women’s career progression in the food and beverage sector.
The 2025 survey, conducted with Garza Consulting, collected data on women’s experiences in technical, commercial and leadership positions across the industry. The research identified four key areas where companies continue to face challenges in supporting female employees.
“Our mission has always been to advance and connect women in the food and beverage industry,” said Angela Dodd, founder of Females in Food. “But we knew that to drive real change, we needed data — something to move us beyond assumptions and into actionable insight.”
