Supply Chain of the Future:
2026 Retrospective

An open industry look back at what the initiative delivered and where it goes next

Tuesday, October 27, 2026

11:00 AM – 12:30 PM ET

IFPA and Totem invite the entire fresh produce supply chain to a retrospective on the Supply Chain of the Future initiative. Open to everyone — IFPA membership is not required.

MEETING INFORMATION

A straight road leading through a barren desert landscape towards distant mountains under a clear blue sky.

About This Retrospective

The Supply Chain of the Future is an industry-wide collaboration to modernize fresh produce from field to consumer through open-source tools, harmonized standards, and real-time data sharing.

Now IFPA and Totem are opening the floor for a candid look back. This retrospective will revisit what the pilot programs actually produced, what proved harder than expected, and what the industry should carry into the next phase.

This is a working conversation rather than a presentation — and it is open to the entire supply chain. IFPA membership is not required.

"Progress on an open supply chain depends on the whole industry showing up — not just the members."

In This Session, You'll Learn

What the Supply Chain of the Future pilot programs delivered in 2026
Findings from shelf-life prediction, smart data escrow, dynamic incentives, and harmonized standards
Where open collaboration moved the industry forward — and where barriers remain
How to take part in the next phase of the initiative

Who Should Attend

Growers, shippers, distributors, retailers, foodservice operators, logistics providers, and solution providers are all welcome. Whether you took part in a pilot or are watching the initiative from the outside, this session is open to you.
