Reimagining Agri-Food with Digital Transformation
As the global population is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, the need for food security and sustainability is now more important than ever. The change of consumer trends too drives the agri-food industry to push towards delivering healthier diets and fresher food from safe and traceable sources, with sustainable consumption as a key priority in their purchasing behaviour.
While the increase in demand implies a wonderful opportunity for the industry players, climate change, lack of access to water, poverty presents great challenges to tap onto the new wave of growth. Hence, it is essential to investigate how innovative solution to overcome these challenges, starting from macro to supply chain from farm to fork.
