Breaking New Ground: From Blockchain to Food Innovation |
|
|
|
Technological advances, changing consumer diets, higher sustainability demands and a continuous internal pursuit for greater operating efficiencies saw global agribusiness Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) push boundaries and break new ground in the innovation space recently.
In January, LDC completed the first-ever full agricultural commodity transaction with a block-chain platform, involving a soybean shipment from the US to China. This achievement comes on the heels of a new dedicated Food Innovation initiative launched last year to delve deeper into the current food revolution and find potential projects for investment.
We speak to Mr Raghav Maru and Mr Shashank Sukumaran, members of LDC’s Food Innovation Project Team about the company’s perspectives and strategy when it comes to innovating for the future.
