the story behind Walmart & 44 Farms, an unlikely partnership

BY

Hear the story of Walmart & 44 Farms supply chain partnership directly from the mastermind producer that helped a Walmart CEO map out a path to solve the chronic issues in the retail giant’s most vexing supply chain by reimagining how beef could create higher value from producer to consumer.

You’ve probably read about Walmart and 44 Farms teaming up to create a coordinated beef supply chain but in this Future of Ag podcast episode, you’ll hear the whole story directly from the horse’s mouth. Or rather, the mastermind producer that helped a Walmart CEO map out a path to solve the chronic issues in the retail giant’s most vexing supply chain by reimagining how beef could create higher value from producer to consumer.

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.
