Cargill hosted Supply Chain Matters 2015 to address the importance of sustainability across food and agricultural supply chains.
By 2050, the global population is estimated to increase to more than 9.5 billion compared to 7 billion today. And 5 billion people will live in Asia alone. At the same time, people in this region are becoming more affluent, their tastes are shifting, and they are becoming more concerned about what they put on their plate.
As an industry leader, Cargill believes that companies have a fundamental responsibility to address the social and environmental impact of doing business.
On October 9, 2015, the dialogue took place with a keynote speech from Cargill’s chairman and CEO Dave MacLennan, followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders and experts.
