The problem with strategic planning is that it's often based on past trends. Three years ago, who would have foreseen covid, today's supply chain bottlenecks, the return of high inflation, the war in Ukraine, and other traits of the current "normal"? What additional surprises lay ahead? How do companies identify potential risks and prepare to manage them? What lessons should we take away from the past two years? Panellists will discuss how companies in biostimulants and related sectors, as well as other agrifood actors can make sure to — in the words attributed to Winston Churchill — "never let a good crisis go to waste."
