Becoming the Value Chain

February 8, 2019

With the global population racing upwards to reach almost 10 billion people by 2050, global food demand could double between now and then – and there is a parallel need for quality diets and sustainability.

Jonathan Kingsman from Commodity Conversations spoke with our CEO, Ian McIntosh, about these changes, their implications and LDC’s ambition to transform the challenges into opportunities.
