The world of agriculture is undergoing a remarkable transformation with the rise of vertical farms. These innovative farms are not only changing the way we grow crops, but they also rely on efficient cold storage solutions to maintain optimal conditions. In a recent interview from GroceryShop, our expert shed light on this exciting development and highlighted how vertical farming can significantly reduce our carbon footprint.

Vertical farming, a concept that may be unfamiliar to some, is gaining momentum as a sustainable solution to meet the growing demand for food while minimizing environmental impact. By utilizing vertical space, these farms can produce crops in urban areas or regions with limited arable land. The integration of cold storage within vertical farms is crucial for preserving the freshness and quality of harvested produce.

The interview emphasized the unique value proposition of vertical farming, combining cutting-edge technology, eco-friendly practices, and a higher purpose. It’s a paradigm shift that would have seemed inconceivable a decade ago. This evolution in agriculture encompasses a mix of traditional, hybrid, and emerging players, with vertical farms taking the lead in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

At KPS Global, we are proud to be actively involved in the vertical farming space, offering our expertise and solutions to support the long-term success of businesses in this sector. We understand the specific requirements of vertical farms and provide tailored cold storage solutions to ensure the highest quality and extended shelf life of their produce.

The guest transcript from the MarketScale Studio interview provides valuable insights into the benefits of vertical farms and the integral role that cold storage plays in this innovative approach. By implementing vertical farming techniques and utilizing efficient cold storage solutions, we can revolutionize agriculture, reduce our carbon footprint, and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

Restaurant kitchen automation is moving from robots to connected equipment

Restaurant kitchen automation is moving from robots to connected equipment

Sweetgreen says its Infinite Kitchen can assemble up to 500 bowls an hour and costs $450,000 to $550,000 per unit. Foodservice Equipment and Supplies reports 2024 Kitchen Innovations Award winners are adding sensors, AI and tighter links to POS, KDS and delivery systems. The operational shift is toward automation that removes steps and variability, not fully staffless restaurants.

  • 01The KI Awards trend is integration, robotics that season and pack, and pizza systems designed around POS, KDS and delivery feeds, which is where automation stops being a demo and starts being a production line.
  • 02For operators with small footprints or volatile staffing, equipment that recognizes food and auto-selects cook programs is becoming a training strategy as much as a cooking strategy.

GLP-1 users cut food spend

GLP-1 users cut food spend

PwC and Acosta Group data show GLP-1 users are spending less on food and changing what they buy. PwC reported GLP-1 users spent about 11% less across most food categories, and the steepest pullbacks were in sweet and salty snacks and baked foods. Acosta Group found users report buying more fresh and high-protein items while reducing purchases of sweets, salty snacks and sugary beverages.

  • 01The bigger operational risk is mix, not just volume: surveys from PwC and Acosta Group point to snack and sugary beverage softness alongside protein and produce lift, a pattern worth validating in loyalty and POS data.
  • 02Pack architecture becomes a supply-chain decision: when 47% of users report smaller portions (PwC), right-sizing case packs, planograms, and menu portions can prevent margin leakage from shrink and waste.
