The Need for Action

The challenges facing food, fiber, and other businesses sourcing agricultural products are striking. For food, the global population will rise from 7.2 billion to 9.7 billion by 2050 — necessitating 60% more food; a burgeoning middle class will increasingly demand a high-protein western diet; and at the same time, the planet will face unprecedented resource constraints while meeting this demand, such as a water shortfall of 40% by 2030. Food and apparel companies need to build robust sustainability agendas from farm to fork, to nourish and clothe a growing population while sustaining natural resources, and providing economic opportunity, all while staying competitive in a crowded marketplace.

Our Approach

Our team of experts help build strategies, enable performance, and deepen engagement throughout organizations and into product and supply chains to help businesses reduce risks and costs, gain consumer trust and build brand strength, and develop growth and resilience.

For example, a piece of this is helping companies reach through their supply chains to connect directly to the farm to rebuild the soil, replenish water, boost productivity, and deliver fair pricing and respect for workers and farm animals — by encouraging and supporting regenerative agriculture and respectful supply chains.
