By invitation only.
Facilitated by BSR’s Futures Team and Food, Beverage and Agriculture team, join an intimate group of food sector peers for an interactive working session exploring the future of agricultural value chains.
We are all well-aware of the business risks in today’s global food supply chains that deem it unfit for the future: critical supply chains are less productive due to soil quality degradation, water scarcity, and climate change; solutions for more regenerative systems require significant financial and technical support to and engagement with farmers; today’s farmers are aging, and younger generations view the profession as undesirable; among others.
This workshop is an opportunity to collectively explore solutions and innovations to address our food system’s sustainability risks, and bridge towards a more desirable and viable future using the Three Horizons framework.
Space for this event is limited and will be accepted on a first come-first serve basis. This event will be an intimate group with active engagement and robust discussion. BSR suggests two participants per company to help you build support for sustainability in important functions like procurement and strategy. Please let us know if you are intending to join us – we hope to see you there!
