Food Industry

After a period of intense productivity growth (mechanization, seeds, fertilizers, industrialization, the rise of mass retail, etc.), the agricultural and agri-food sectors are now facing major transformations — even deep disruptions — across the entire value chain. Along with these come significant challenges:

Reinventing agriculture to make it more sustainable and responsible;

Rethinking the value chain by focusing on customer value — from fork to farm;

Reconnecting farmers with consumers who are increasingly seeking healthy and affordable products;

Harnessing the potential of data and AI to enable better-managed and better-traced practices.

How we support
our clients

We support this vast and urgent transformation by bringing our expertise in responsible transformation and by orchestrating strategic thinking, organizational intelligence, and mastery of technological levers.

Our approaches are always co-developed with our clients, based on proven methodologies tailored to diverse contexts, in order to account for their specific strengths and constraints.

We address both Executive-level issues (strategy and growth) and Functional-level topics (competitiveness and operational performance, management and human resources, IT strategy).

In this way, we support all players across the agricultural and agri-food value chains:

Input suppliers, cooperatives, manufacturers, and retailers;

In France, for export, and internationally;

Large corporations, mid-sized companies, SMEs, and start-ups (in partnership with DigitalFoodLab and La Ferme Digitale);

Investment funds and institutional stakeholders (banks, interprofessional organizations).

Strategic
collaborations

These projects reflect our deep commitment to supporting clients in aligning economic, social, and environmental performance — as a driver of long-term, sustainable success.
