We work at the intersection of strategy, science and technology, turning uncertainty into opportunity to future-proof your company and help you grow in this changing climate. We help you embrace scientific and technological innovation to develop entirely new approaches to the products you create, how they’re packaged, produced, delivered and consumed. From personalized nutrition to more sustainable goods and packaging, minimizing waste or developing digitally enhanced experiences, we help you adapt and harness the convergence of agriculture, food, health and technology to create breakthroughs in performance while moving away from resource-intensive ways of food production.
As the world’s population continues to grow, so will demands for resources. By 2050, an estimated 60% more food than is produced today will be needed as a billion people are added to the world’s population. The consumer goods industry faces a perfect storm of disruption due to geopolitical and climate instability, competitive threats and growing demand for more sustainable and healthier products. Businesses that fail to adapt fast to these diverse challenges risk falling behind, harming both people and planet.
