Despite a global pandemic and a host of supply chain disruptions, companies still keep sustainability top of mind in today’s cold food chains. Maintaining a sustainable food chain both upstream and down comes with a host of challenges and opportunities.

“Never before have we witnessed a disruption to our food chain as was seen in early 2020 with COVID-19.
