Our Supply Chain Is Ripe For Innovation

The fresh produce industry stands at a crossroads. Decades of legacy practices have created an inefficient and opaque supply chain, resulting in staggering losses and missed opportunities. While food waste captures societal attention, it's merely a symptom of deeper challenges: outdated systems, fragmented data, and lack of trust.

Join industry leaders at this hybrid event to transform how fresh produce moves from field to consumer. Through interactive sessions, international perspectives, and collaborative working groups, we'll tackle four transformative opportunities:

• Shelf-life Predictability: Using real-time monitoring and predictive analytics

• Dynamic Incentives: Rewarding quality, efficiency, and sustainability

• Harmonized Standards: Creating a common language for data exchange

• Smart Data Escrow: Enabling secure, controlled data sharing

  
  

Whether attending in-person or virtually, you'll actively shape pilot programs launching this summer and gain exclusive access to implementation resources and innovation opportunities.

Registration is free but required for both in-person and virtual attendance.
