Major Industry Concerns for Agribusiness

Our valued clients in agriculture surface the following concerns within their industry:

• Security: Food distribution networks are increasingly globalized and, at the same time, the transport of food is heavily energy-dependent. The industry demands highly specialized expertise in energy security issues as well as attendant risks and opportunities involved in our increasing use of technology and automation.
• Sustainability: Technological innovation is transforming agricultural and food production, and much of that innovation is tied to finding ways to make the food supply chain more renewable and sustainable. Global organizations look for executive candidates who are keyed into this shift in priorities.
• Globalization: It’s not enough to serve a single market. The companies we work with always have an eye to the global implication of their work in agriculture and production.
• Production Efficiency: Executives in the food sector are very mindful of the bottom line and realizing efficiencies at scale.
