Food industry insiders warn food crisis is looming
A group of senior professionals working within the biggest food retailers warn that an interconnected set of crises – degrading soil health, water scarcity, climate change – will have a significant impact on food businesses unless there is deep structural and cultural change within the industry.
Publisher’s Summary
Inside Track published a memo written by a group of senior professionals working within some of the UK’s biggest food retailers, producers and manufacturers. In their words, “Yield, quality, and predictability of supply from many of our most critical sourcing regions is not something we will be able to rely upon over the coming years. The data on degrading soil health, water scarcity, global heating and extreme weather events back up what we are seeing from within the system: an interconnected set of crises. These crises will have a meaningful commercial impact on our businesses, and yet we feel that there are a number of structural and cultural issues that are preventing the severity of this challenge being fully accepted by industry or fully shared with our investors.
