Last month, Beth Dembia, our Customer Success and Partnership Lead, took part in a panel at the virtual Food Edge Summit, called Local Food at Scale: Leveraging Technology to Build a Sustainable Future. The session was moderated by Janelle Nanos, of the Boston Globe, and included Arthur Ackles, VP of Merchandising and Buying for Roche Bros. Supermarkets, and Lily Leedom, Founder and CEO of SalterieOne (formerly Duxbury Saltworks) who provides artisan salts to Roche Bros. through the Forager platform.
The discussion offered perspectives on the importance of local sourcing and it's challenges from these different points in the supply chain. The complete session can be viewed below.
