Agriculture
We help leading agriculture and food companies navigate opportunities and the uncertainties driven by changing global consumer demand, shifting agricultural trends, and digital disruptions. Our consultants can help you reduce risk, improve confidence in your food safety systems and procedures, and comply with local, state and federal regulations. The demand of the world’s expanding population is being driven by a growing middle class with a greater appetite for protein and better quality food. In addition, increasing consumer awareness of the food and fiber the world is consuming is driving changes in diet and purchasing choices.Affected parties also must confront evolving challenges such as animal welfare, climate change, biodiversity and sustainable practices.

The agribusiness industry is changing rapidly. Global demand will require a 50%+ increase in production of major agricultural crops over the next 40 years. Sources of new land are limited; therefore, greater yield is critical to meeting the ever-increasing global demand. The most successful companies in the agricultural sector historically have either participated across multiple segments of the value chain or have achieved large scale in a dedicated area of focus.
Going forward, companies will have to compete in an increasingly complex environment, which includes increasing competition for resources as alternative fuel sources; more environmental pressure on farming techniques; and competing governmental priorities that suppress optimal global yield and trade flows. We works alongside companies to navigate these and many other pressing issues to achieve sustainable results.
