Global food systems are under pressure. Supply chain inefficiencies, market dynamics, unpredictable weather, and climate shocks are creating costly gaps in the value chain. The FAO estimates that 14% of food is lost between harvest and retail. While commodity price swings of up to 30% in a single season are increasingly common in today’s volatile markets.
Pre-competitive collaboration can offer a way to turn these risks into opportunities. By breaking down silos between brands, farmers, processors, retailers, and investors, companies can stabilize supply and create a more predictable and resilient agricultural market.
This case-study session explores how deeper collaboration across the industry can drive commercial advantage and systemic transformation:
- How can we utilize data and shared insights to forecast trends, manage risk, and optimize production
- Building multi-stakeholder partnerships that coordinate investments, sourcing, and innovation
- How can we translate industry collaboration into measurable ROI- lower procurement costs, improved supply security and better consumer outcomes
What to expect from this type of session...
Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
