Description
Biodiversity is essential to supporting a healthy planet and sustainable food supply. Increasingly, retailers are requiring their business partners to support sustainable practices. Walmart has pollinator requirements that go into effect next year. And The Kroger Co. recently said it will require all of its fresh produce suppliers to use Integrated Pest Management practices for all products supplied to Kroger by 2028 or 2030, based on the grower's size. This panel will bring together stakeholders committed to advancing biodiversity in the fresh produce industry.
