A new generation of consumers wants natural, farm-fresh produce, without pesticides, direct from the farmer – who expects to be compensated fairly. As consumers, today’s generation is more vocal about demanding a fair farm-to-counter supply chain – and expects leaders and companies to innovate and, if needed, disrupt the status quo.
Technology, artificial intelligence and big data are having a major impact on the packaged goods sector. Tech-savvy leaders with vision are needed to help this sector achieve a circular economy, while managing changes that see farmers increasingly apply targeted approaches to reduce additives and chemicals required to grow produce and where packaging for every type of product pre- and post-consumer is designed to minimise waste.

Companies are using AI to turn consumer and customer signals into more targeted product development, while supporting sustainability through predictive food safety and carbon-impact modeling.
