“The food industry has navigated through more challenges over the last five years than any period in our lifetime. These challenges have put pressure on the global supply chain, requiring us to reimagine and re-engineer all aspects of our operations, including embracing digital technology. As an industry, let’s continue to build a strong foundation for operational excellence and champion and cultivate great talent. Once that is in place, no matter the challenge, you have the building blocks to be successful, and you have the base you need to disrupt with digital and accelerate our journey to greatness as a collective industry.”
