“For food retailers, sustainable sourcing is critical to long-term success as availability concerns increase,” said Jeanne von Zastrow, senior director for sustainability for Arlington-based FMI. “Through collaboration, industries can reduce stress on the environment and volatility in the cost of commodities that businesses depend on for survival.”
