Global economic cycles and new technologies are rapidly transforming our daily lives. In order to adapt, countries must execute on revised strategic plans coupled with informed decision-making, effective utilization of resources, and innovative workflows. This is important because food security depends on it.
It is not just about technology. It's about humans, nurturing a healthier planet, happier animals, and a more sustainable future for generations to come. Here is what I am excited about: Airplanes fueled by Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) carrying food to people in need.
Smart sensors gather data across the entire supply chain, from soil health to human performance. AI algorithms analyze this data to tailor processes and ingredient ratios to create precise food formulations for individual people, considering age, genetics, and environmental factors.
Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity: Reduced waste, streamlined operations, and customization mean better profits and a healthier planet.
Improved Human Health and Welfare: Precise nutrition boosts growth and human well-being, leading to higher quality food and beverage.
Environmental Sustainability: Reduced water and energy consumption, and efficient waste management pave the way for sustainability.
Transparency and Traceability: Blockchain ensures trust and visibility across the supply chain, promoting ethical sourcing practices.
Infrastructure gaps, data security concerns, and workforce upskilling require proactive solutions. But with collaboration and innovation, we can bridge these gaps and ensure that every bite tells a story of efficiency, sustainability, and well-being.
Communication became paramount. PLCs entered the scene, enabling basic automation and data collection. This was the early dawn of precision nutrition.
Teams and Assembly lines drive productivity. Steam gave way to electric motors, powering mechanized mills and conveyor belts. Food production adopted assembly lines, standardizing formulations for different livestock species. However, customization remained limited.
Food production was a laborious task. Animal power and rudimentary grinding yielded monotonous rations, ill-suited for diverse needs. A far cry from the precise science and customized blends of today's food industry.
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) on new technologies require significant investment to achieve impactful growth potential.
Today, Sory is a results-oriented Industrial Engineering leader with a diverse background and a global perspective. He is ultra-committed to creating value in world markets by helping bridge the gap between high-quality U.S. manufacturing technologies and worldwide agribusiness value-chains, thus stimulating growth in win-win relationships.
On December 19 2008, President Bush announced US$17.4 billion in emergency loans to U.S. carmakers, President Obama announced his final cabinet pick, and a 19-year old Sory began his first day as an International Student (then became a citizen) of the United States after fulfilling a year on a Malian national merit-based scholarship in Morocco.
From age 4, Sory dreamed of being a farmer, cultivating growth from scratch. While he didn't become a traditional farmer, his passion for nurturing growth remains strong. He fuels his endeavors with a desire to take risks and push boundaries. Sory is an african immigrant to the United States and an international entrepreneur.
More specifically, Sory is a trained Lean Six-Sigma (6σ) black belt who actively seeks technological innovation, and applies engineering principles within agro-industrial value chains to translate his strategic vision into valuable customer-centric actions.
