Transform Food

Memo

Connecting Food Industry Leaders to Create Real Impact...The North American food and agriculture industry is undergoing immense transformations. The impacts of geopolitics, growing populations and the need for supply chain transparency have aligned to create a perfect storm for sustainability executives. With businesses consolidating supply changes and becoming vertically integrated there is huge pressure on efficiency and for business to reduce risks in the system. Centralization is one answer but is at odds with company desires for profit maximization and to provide a diverse product portfolio for customers. Competitor collaboration will be key in achieving material change and moving the needle on building sustainable supply chains.
