COVID-19 has rearranged the supply chain cosmos, impacted consumer preferences, and caused manufacturers and retailers to reevaluate their approaches to the market. How is production agriculture meeting the needs of food companies and what do we as an industry need to do to meet their expectations? We’ll examine data and case studies on how companies are reacting key megatrends in food production, distribution, and consumption, and their ultimate impact on the crop production channel.

A major driver of the alternative protein market is the consumers’ desire to live and eat more sustainably.

Pretty much every food & beverage brand now makes some kind of appeal to the consumer about its green credentials, spanning everything from ‘carbon-neutral’ and ‘sustainably-sourced’ to ‘climate-friendly,’ ‘water-positive,’ ‘regeneratively-farmed’ and ‘zero-waste.’ But how do industry buyers – and consumers – assess these claims, make meaningful comparisons between products in the same category, and stay alert to the ever-present threat of greenwashing?
