Amid disruptions to the international supply chain, the need for food safety and traceability peaked for global food retailers and traders. Sustainability has become a key node for the industry, too, as C-suite leaders face growing pressure by global and national regulators to prevent food waste. This concurrence of events has led to the call for genuine innovation and collaboration within the sector. In this panel, innovators will explore how the latest technological advances, such as 2D barcodes powered by GS1 standards, are enhancing inventory management, improving traceability, and minimizing waste. Attendees should stay after the panel—all attendees are entered into a raffle for an Ultimate Innovator gift bag, but must be present to win.
