SUMMARY:An introduction to Aptean's Fresh Produce specific ERP solution
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \nFresh fruits and vegetables pose unique challenges due to their seasonality\, perishability\, and diverse attributes. Additionally\, produce processors and distributors often face complex\, sprawling supply chains\, as many varieties can only be grown and sourced in specific regions. Managing these complexities is therefore crucial to ensure the right alignment between supply and demand. But with outdated systems or paper records\, this is an inefficient process that can also lead to significant risks\, such as product contamination\, shrinking profit margins and food waste. This introduction webinar will focus on how modern technology can offer a sector specific ERP solution to help your Fresh Produce business overcome the challenges.

SUMMARY:Upcycled Food: Trend or Transformation?
DESCRIPTION:Whole Foods declared Upcycling one of the top food trends to watch in 2021 and 60% of consumers say they want to see more upcycled products on shelves (MATTSON). \nBut is the food & beverage industry ready to meet this growing demand? \nHow can we scale what remains a very niche category? \nAnd what is upcycling anyway? \nThese are some of the questions that will be addressed in a frank and authentic way by the leaders of four food companies in this unique and practical webinar on November 23rd\, held as part of North America’s first ever Upcycled Food Fest. \nYou’ll hear from companies who have all adopted upcycling as part of their business and came together to launch the first ever Upcycled Meal Kit. They’ll share with you the challenges\, the learnings\, the highs and the lows and ultimately whether they would do it again. \nAnd given that consumers are associating greater environmental benefit with the word “upcycled” than the word “organic” (Drexel study 2017)\, they will also address the opportunity – what it means for them\, what it can mean for your business and whether it is just a trend or a real transformation in the industry. \nThis is the closest you will get to a “how to” of upcycling\, so don’t miss it. \nRegister now – places are strictly limited. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Water Resilience in the Food Industry
DESCRIPTION:Produced in Partnership with FMI\, the Food Industry Association. \nAs we look to the future\, the food industry as a whole is facing a daunting task – how do we feed a growing population using fewer resources and amid a changing and unpredictable climate? And in many ways\, it all comes down to water. Demand for water is increasing as population\, agriculture and energy needs grow\, while supply is becoming more unpredictable due to the impact of climate change. Food companies need to play an active role\, both in mitigating water stress and in adapting to it to ensure the resilience of their business and their communities. Companies are coming together to share best practices and tools and take collective action in at-risk watersheds to address these issues at scale. Join the discussion with key leaders in the Water Resilience Coalition to hear how companies are prioritizing water in practical ways. This session will be live to facilitate Q&A and will be recorded for on demand viewing. Register now and stay tuned for additional Sustainability Conversations. \nRegister here.
