1 年Phil, With respect to the sustainability disconnect, achieving sustainability goals, caring for consumers, solving their problems, and maintaining profitability and growth all at once might seem like a tall order, but it's certainly possible. The food industry is moving in the direction consumers want, but it's crucial that we match their pace. Consumers are the heart of our industry, and while we can gently nudge them towards more sustainable choices, we should never push them harder than they're ready for. It's our responsibility to guide, educate, and offer options, but always respecting their autonomy and readiness for change. In this way, we ensure sustainable growth that aligns with consumer comfort and acceptance. #Sustainability #Innovation #ConsumerInsights
