| Popis: | Companies increasingly request sustainability data from their suppliers. For the food supply chain, most food inputs are commodities, making it particularly difficult to collect information. Therefore, farmers routinely receive the same request for data from multiple parties including agricultural retailers, tool input providers, and food or seed companies. At the supply chain’s demand end, consumer packaged goods companies and food retailers are requesting similar data from their top suppliers. In the process, ag retailers and other farm advisers are often overlooked as valued partners in the collection, analysis, aggregation, and transfer of data. For participants to collect data there must be a solid value proposition for every participant. To ensure consistent reporting up and down the food supply chain, there need to be transparent metrics linking the nodes through which these data flow and allow the data to move up, down, and across the network. Finally, there must be a process or tools to ensure every sustainability claim is valid. |
