Special Session: Ecolab - Food Safety and Sustainability: Transforming The Way We Do Business To Beat The Coming Resource Crunch.

As the world gets hotter, drier and more unpredictable, bold new approaches, digital technology and a connected mindset will help us ensure a safe global food supply.

The world is changing – fast. The population is growing, the climate is changing, and water is increasingly scarce. In this complex landscape, businesses will need new ways to grow, produce, store and serve high quality food and keep it safe - sustainably. We’ll need to find transformational approaches that can help us get ahead of challenges posed by a rapidly growing, rapidly changing food system.

Without question, we’ll need to lean on digital technology to leapfrog ordinary progress. Already, it has connected an ever-growing number of people, sensors and devices. It has created new business models and social networks, resulted in new ecosystems and transformed our economy. And it can help us advance sustainability and food safety simultaneously.

Join us for an engaging conversation with Mark Overland, Director, Global Certification Cargill Food Safety; John Carter, Area Europe Quality Director, Ferrero; and Microsoft to discuss how this transformation is affecting organizations all along the supply chain – and how other companies can learn from what these forward-thinking brands are doing.
