SustainabilityThe foundation for a self-sustainable supply chain
Population growth and climate change: the two dilemmas of our time. A country like Ghana is very familiar with these dilemmas. The growing economy is spurring demand for local, safe and healthy food. The Ghanaian government is therefore faced with the challenge of improving local production because Ghana has depended on importing food and agricultural products from Europe for years. The West African country is taking matters into its own hands by embarking on the transition to self-sufficiency. Having a local presence and stimulating local production and knowledge in the poultry sector, De Heus can help facilitate this transition.
