Can 'Big Food' Embrace Sustainable Agriculture?

............................................................................
................................................

 

The sustainability of large-scale agriculture is increasingly being called
into question.  Food manufacturers and agribusinesses catering to global
food markets are being challenged by the rising demand for sustainably grown
food. What material impact will this have for the food sector?

 

The discussion will explore what companies are doing to drive both
profitability and agricultural sustainability.
