Sector insight
Food and CEA
The food and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) sectors face critical challenges: producing more food with fewer resources, addressing global labor shortages and rising costs, and contributing to sustainable food production.
The food and CEA sectors face two primary challenges.
Challenge 1
Feeding the future
Food and CEA isn’t just about meeting today’s needs; it’s about securing tomorrow’s resources. To feed the future, the way of growing crops needs to aim higher.
Challenge 2
Addressing labor
The industry confronts major labor challenges, including a lack of available workers and escalating costs. These issues are pressuring growers to maintain efficiency and productivity while meeting the growing demand for sustainable food production.
These challenges call for innovative solutions.
In the following sector insight video, we share our vision for the food and CEA sector to adapt and thrive in these changes.
"To feed a growing world with fewer resources, we must tackle labor shortages, rising costs, and sustainability challenges head-on. Together, we can innovate to ensure a future where food production is efficient, accessible, and sustainable for everyone."
