It is high-time that we rethink the way we treat #farmers in the larger context of our #FoodSupplyChains. Their work is grueling, yet essential - we must prioritize their well-being and access to resources above all. #FoodAccess #FarmersAdvocacy

[Forum for the Future @Forum4theFuture]

Farmers are central to enabling food system transformation, but we need to recognise the dependence the supply chain has on them and the urgent need to reconfigure relationships.

The topic of #disability often goes overlooked in conversations about #DEI. @Foodbuy hopes to play a part in changing that narrative.

Check out the article below for some practical solutions regarding #DisabilityInclusion. https://t.co/1FRvsPagIS

It's always inspiring to see individuals and organizations taking action to address #GlobalFoodInsecurity. We must give as much support as possible to the folks that are offering a helping hand across the world. Kudos to @WFP!

With insecurity making road access a challenge, @WFP is using @UNHAS helicopters to reach Pama in the east of #BurkinaFaso 🇧🇫. These helicopters transport not only humanitarian workers, but also food and nutrition assistance for 6,000 vulnerable people.

The importance of regular #audits cannot be understated.

At Foodbuy, our #AuditServices are just one of the ways we help our members drive #CostSavings and improve their bottom line.

Do you hold conversations with your #customers - whether they are new to your company or have been there for quite a while - that clearly aim at their individual wants and needs? @Forbes #BusinessGrowth #OperationalEffectiveness https://t.co/iAt7LjowF5

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

Thinking about things that took place within your #organization or #team in the past can be beneficial in some ways, however if you do it too much, it could hinder your performance as a whole. @HarvardBiz #BusinessGrowth #OperationalEffectiveness https://t.co/OMjYME3XEK

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

@mariammalmheiri Amazing, Mariam. You're right - technology has the capacity to cut costs, improve efficiency, and maybe even limit #FoodInsecurity. Still, it's vital that when creating this tech, we begin with the needs of farmers and agricultural workers.

@jamesvgingerich Thanks for sharing, James! As a food supply chain leader, I proudly stand for more inclusive spaces for women.

Would you consider your team motivated, or do you feel #stagnancy? @HarvardBiz #BusinessGrowth #OperationalEffectiveness #Leadership

How to contribute to your company’s vision from a junior-level seat. https://t.co/WvrhYoOwg1

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

If you do not contribute well to a #conversation, experience, or anything else that might be high-priority at the moment, you could find yourself with a bad #PeopleStrategy. @HarvardBiz #BusinessGrowth

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Instead of worrying about what you’re going to say to the other person, put together a list of questions you might want to ask them. https://t.co/zMiVwI45Ef

@Hyken So true, Shep! We often forget that our current clients are still potential customers in other aspects of our business.

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

@AdamMGrant Being humble is a great path to go down if you want to be seen as an emotionally intelligent, trustworthy, and people-centric leader by your team.

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

Absolutely. In my professional experience, I've found that the best leaders are those who prioritize the #wellness of their teams. #BusinessLeaders have a responsibility to raise the next generation of #TransformationalLeaders. #CompanyCulture

The joy of leadership comes from seeing others achieve more than they thought they were capable of.

As we utilize new #DigitalTools to improve #SupplyChainEfficiency and #FoodSafety, it's vital that we consider the potential risks and unintended consequences of new tech. We must ensure that technology use benefits all stakeholders. @wef https://t.co/mmb4OItS5M

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

Organizations like @upside are critical in the fight against #FoodWaste and #CarbonOffsetting. #Sustainability is good for business, but it's even better for the planet. Let's keep doing our part to more efficiently deliver food worldwide.

[Upside @upside]

Americans generate ~35M tons of food waste every year, which negatively impacts the 🌎 and could help feed the 10% of American households that are food insecure. Upside is doing its part to change that.

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

Focusing on #sustainability at every stage of the #FoodSupplyChain is vital. From using sustainable #FarmingPractices to reducing #FoodWaste, there's so much we can do to ensure that our supply chains are holistically better than before.

@GraduatedBen You're very right. It would be unfair of us to expect a clean comeback from the devastations of COVID. There is an insane amount of damage to our systems in need of repair.

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

@AccentInvesting Yes, Kenny. As the saying goes, you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Surrounding yourself with greatness creates powerful motivation.

[Dewayne Dove @dewayne_dove]

Great graphic for anyone wanting to know how they can participate in minimizing #FoodWaste on a personal scale. We all have a role to play in preserving the #GlobalFoodSupply.

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

#FoodWaste can happen at various stages of the food supply chain, from production and harvesting to processing, distribution, and consumption.

As disheartening as this headline may be, there are steps that companies can take to rebalance our national #SupplyChains. Still, the unprecedented nature of this time requires major innovation.
