Capitalizing on case studies and programs at Intelleflex relating to food safety and quality, Mr. Mehring will discuss the current inefficiencies in the food value chain that result in post-harvest losses totaling up to one third of food produced annually. He will share use cases of organizations that are employing RFID technology to reduce waste and inefficiencies in their cold supply chains, thereby reducing post-harvest loss. Mehring will also address the innovative business models used to bring this technology to local farmers in Central and South America, engaging them in the global food supply chain by tracing food quality from farm to retail distributors. A single, cost-effective solution that maximizes delivered food yield -- without increasing production -- and simultaneously delivers the traceability mandated by the FSMA, creates new business dynamics that truly enable sustainable agriculture in remote regions.
