BECAUSE ADAPTABILITY IS A CHOICE

1.5 DEGREES; THAT’S THE NUMBER EVERY-BODY IS TALKING ABOUT. BUT, THE REAL CONVERSATION ISN’T JUST WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE, BUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER. IN REALITY, THAT NUMBER HAS ALREADY CHANGED YOUR BUSINESS IRRESPECTIVE OF THE ROLE YOU PLAY IN THE BROADER FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN, AND THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU KNOW IT YET?
‍
MODERN FOOD SYSTEMS ARE COMPLEX NETWORKS DRIVEN BY DATA, BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF A CONNECTED AND ACCESSIBLE DATA FRAMEWORK, SUPPLY CHAINS AS WE KNOW THEM ARE AT RISK. THIS IS FURTHER EXACERBATED BY THE FRAGMENTED PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION AND CONSUMER SAFETY SYSTEMS IN EXISTENCE TODAY, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF INPUTS AND OUTPUTS TO OPTIMIZE OPERATIONS AND MITIGATE RISK, FOR CURRENT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, FUTURE ENVIRONMENTS.

THE 21ST CENTURY FOOD SYSTEM IS DATA-DRIVEN. HOWEVER, IN THE ABSENCE OF A CONNECTED AND ACCESSIBLE DATA FRAMEWORK, FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS AS WE KNOW THEM ARE AT RISK. THIS IS EXACERBATED BY THE FRAGMENTED PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION AND CONSUMER SUPPORT SYSTEMS WHICH MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR ORGANIZATIONS TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF INPUTS AND OUTPUTS TO OPTIMIZE THEIR OPERATIONS.

NOW IS THE TIME TO RETHINK FOUNDATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE
FOOD IS ESSENTIAL AND THERE IS NO SYSTEM MORE COMPLEX IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD; HOWEVER, THE ADVERSITY IN-TOW WITH CLIMATE CHANGE, THE DISRUPTIVE EFFECT OF DISEASE AND DISASTER SUCH AS THE PANDEMIC, AND THE UNCERTAINTY OF ECONOMIC POLICY ARE UBIQUITOUS. SO HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE HARD AND SOFT COSTS OF DOING BUSINESS IN A VOLATILE ENVIRONMENT? IT STARTS WITH EXAMINING THE CORE OF YOUR BUSINESS THROUGH THE LENS OF TOMORROW TO ENSURE YOUR PROCESSES ARE NOT ONLY IN-LINE WITH, BUT CAPABLE OF EVOLVING WITH THE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CHANGES TO COME.

THE NEW LANDSCAPE OF CONSUMER INTERACTION
WHETHER YOU OPERATE B2B OR B2C, THE REALITY IS THAT THE CONSUMER IS YOUR BIGGEST VARIABLE, AND TODAY, THEY ARE MORE EMPOWERED THAN EVER BEFORE AND EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH. AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST IS “LOCAL.” PEOPLE NOT ONLY WANT QUALITY, BUT THEY WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEIR FOOD COMES FROM AND WHAT’S IN IT; DOES IT ALIGN WITH THEIR VALUES AND IS IT HURTING OR HELPING TO ADDRESS ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. THIS IS PERMEATING ACROSS RETAIL AND FOODSERVICE SEGMENTS AND ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT IT WILL ONLY INCREASE. WE UNIQUELY SERVE BOTH SEGMENTS AND HAVE A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIRECTION AND MOMENTUM OF CONSUMER PREFERENCE. THIS DATA IS A CORE PART OF PRODUCT AND EXPERIENCE DEVELOPMENT THAT OUR CLIENTS BENEFIT FROM.

ANY SUSTAINABLE TOMORROW BEGINS WITH POLICY
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS AND POPULATION GROWTH ARE TWO KEY DRIVERS OF CHANGE TO BUSINESS PRACTICES AND STANDARDS ACROSS INDUSTRY AND OMNIPRESENT IN THE FOOD SECTOR. GLOBALLY, REGULATORS ARE FOCUSING ON PRO-ACTIVE MEASURES OF ENFORCEMENT TO MANAGE CONSUMER RISK AND THE FOOD SAFETY MODERNIZATION ACT (FSMA) IS CENTER-STAGE FOR THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA). MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS IS A GAME CHANGER, AND WILL REQUIRE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW TOOLS IN AREAS, SUCH AS TRACEABILITY, TO COMPLY. WHETHER YOU SEE THIS AS A CHALLENGE OR OPPORTUNITY, WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE.

GETTING IT DONE IS NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS
THIS IS A CHOICE YOU GET TO MAKE IF IT'S AVAILABLE TO YOU AND IT'S ALL ABOUT TRADE-OFFS: CLIMATE MITIGATION OR CLIMATE ADAPTATION, INVESTING IN MORE SUSTAINABLE SOURCING OR LOWERING TRANSPORTATION COSTS, MITIGATING FOOD SAFETY RISK OR INVESTING IN QUICK RESPONSE, MEETING CUSTOMER TRENDS HEAD-ON OR INVESTING IN CUSTOMER REPLACEMENT—ALL OF WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT YOUR ABILTY TO NAVIGATE UNCONTROLLABLE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SUPPORT YOUR CUSTOMERS. WE WORK WITH YOU TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO LIMIT EXPOSURE AND RESPOND IN THE MOST COST EFFICIENT WAYS.

using data

TO BUILD RESPONSIVE FOOD SYSTEMS

THE FOOD SYSTEM OF TOMORROW REQUIRES A MORE CONNECTED SUPPLY CHAIN THAT USES DATA TO NOT ONLY OPTIMIZE FULFILLMENT, BUT GOES BEYOND THE INCREMENTAL EFFICIENCIES AND LOOKS TO CREATE VALUE END-TO-END. IT STARTS AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL AND GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE CONSUMER, CLOSING THE LOOP - NOT ONLY ON THE PRODUCTION PROCESS, BUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN ITSELF.
DATA

USING DATA TO BUILD RESPONSIVE FOOD SYSTEMS

BY LEARNING MORE AND FASTER THAN WE HAVE EVER BEFORE ABOUT THE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WE PRODUCE, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE AUDIENCES CONSUMING THE PRODUCT, WE CAN ACCELERATE NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, OPTIMIZE FOR SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS, FEATURES, NUTRIENTS AND REGIONS, FIGHT OR ADAPT TO DISEASE MORE QUICKLY, AND REDUCE WASTE.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD IS DATA AND WE ARE BRINGING IT TO YOU, TODAY.

IN A FUTURE WHERE SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION IS

decentralized

HAVING SERVED US WELL, THE IDEA THAT WE MUST LIMIT OURSELVES TO THE FOOD PRODUCTION METHODS THAT HAVE GOTTEN US HERE IS OUTDATED, AND EQUALLY, SO IS THE BOOM OR BUST SUPPLY CHAIN MODEL THAT IS AT THE MERCY OF SO MANY EXTERNAL VARIABLES BEYOND OUR CONTROL. OUR CITIES ARE GROWING EXPONENTIALLY AND DEMANDS ARE SHIFTING.
‍
A LOT CAN BE SAID FOR THE CURRENT STATE OF GLOBAL FOOD PRODUCTION  WHICH IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH; BUT LOGISTICS COSTS ONLY SERVE TO UNDERSCORE THE MANY KNOWN CHALLENGES FACING MULTIPLE SEGMENTS OF THE INDUSTRY- PARTICULARLY CONVENTIONAL FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRODUCTION. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN EQUATION, YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE EQUALLY CHALLENGED TO MAINTAIN THEIR MARGINS AMIDST RISING INFLATION AND LIMITED CONSUMER PRICING ELASTICITY. AND THEN THERE IS THAT WORD AGAIN: “LOCAL.”

DUTCH ENGINEERING PIONEERED TECHNOLOGY WHICH HAS SERVED THEM WELL AND ENABLED THE NOT - SO - NEW CATEGORY OF CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT AGRICULTURE, WHICH IN RECENT YEARS HAS DEMONSTRATED NOT ONLY ITS UTILITY AGAINST RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES, BUT ALSO ITS ABILITY TO SUPPORT THE DEMAND AT SCALE.

OUR ANALYTICS CAN IDENTIFY AND OFFSET PRODUCTION CHALLENGES WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SHORTENING THE PRODUCT JOURNEY AND EXTENDING USABILITY ACROSS FOODSERVICE AND GROCERY.

because people

WANT IT ALL, SO NOW WHAT?

FOR BOTH FOODSERVICE AND GROCERY PARTICIPANTS, LEVERAGING THE ABILITY TO CONNECT DATA ACROSS CHANNELS AND MARKETS PRESENTS SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO APPRECIATE THE LONG-TERM VIEW OF WHAT SHIFTING DEMOGRAPHICS AND DYNAMICS MEAN TO THE BUSINESS. PEOPLE WANT THE FACTS; WHETHER ITS DRIVEN BY PURPOSE, VALUES, TRACEABILITY, HEALTH, OR QUALITY, AND ITS NOT WHAT YOU SAY, BUT WHAT YOU CAN PROVE. SIMPLY PUT, IT’S ABOUT TRUST. THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO THE END-CONSUMER RELATIONSHIP AND IS EQUALLY RELEVANT ACROSS B2B CHANNELS, AND IN SOME WAYS, HAVE MORE IMMEDIATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT.

SEEING THE OPPORTUNITY RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU MAY REQUIRE SEEING YOUR PRODUCT THROUGH THE EYES OF THE CONSUMER

THERE IS A NEW SHOPPING JOURNEY THAT IS RESHAPING THE CONSUMER CONVERSATION. IT’S DIGITAL, FIRST, AND IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT CONSUMERS WANT TO KNOW AND HOW THEY WANT TO BE ENGAGED. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS SUBJECTIVE AND EVERY FOODSERVICE OR RETAIL GROCERY ORGANIZATION WILL RESPOND FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW AND IN CONTEXT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PRIORITIZATION. IT SHOULD; HOWEVER, BE NOTED THAT DATA INDICATES A FAILURE TO RESPOND OR TO TRAIL THE COMPETITION, WILL INVARIABLY ADVERSELY AFFECT PERFORMANCE AND SHARE OF WALLET AT ALL POINTS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
