Venture into the dynamic world of agri-food markets with the guidance of John Giles, a seasoned expert at Promar International. Our latest episode brings to light the transformative shifts in UK agriculture through John's lens, as he draws upon his rich experiences across 60 nations and deep involvement in agricultural commodities. From the omnipresent specter of climate change to the burgeoning realm of sustainable and low-carbon practices, we navigate the intricate pathways that are redefining the essence of farming and food production not only within the British Isles but on a global scale.
The second segment of our conversation pivots to the gritty realities of supply chain management – a veritable battlefield where businesses wage war against inflation, soaring labour costs, and the capricious tide of global logistics. But it's not just about survival; it's a nuanced debate over the equity of food pricing. Listen closely as we dissect the seismic impact that supermarket giants and discount retailers are having on the industry, altering consumer expectations and revolutionizing the market before our very eyes. John's expertise illuminates the myriad of strategies companies deploy to stay afloat amidst the challenges of an ever-changing economic landscape.
As we cast our gaze toward the horizon, the future of the agri-food workforce unfurls with promise and potential. The episode's closing act scrutinizes how the current geopolitical maelstrom and climate quandaries are not merely hurdles but spurs to innovation and change, reshaping not just the supply chain but the very careers within it. The expanding mosaic of talent and expertise required in this sector spotlights the emergence of diverse roles, from sustainability directors to tech-savvy farmers. For those ignited by this dialogue, we open the doors to continued discourse and networking, beckoning our audience to join the critical exchange on the trajectory of agri-food markets.
