An intersection of the food and packaging supply chains
“Saving food is the most sustainable activity for our society which will lead to overall savings in the
use of every input from seeds, to fertilizer, water and energy. The delivery of better nutrition to the
largest part of the population will also be a huge stride for sustainability since it will increase overall
health and productivity.” – Debabrata Deb
