Since demand forecasting has developed many “personalities” over the decades, I recently wrote a blog that “decoded” the language of demand.

Here they are: Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) - A traditional definition of S&OP defines it as an integrated business process through which an executive

New research published in Science ( Poore & Nemecek, 2018 ) analyzes land use in food supply chains. An astounding 3.1 billion ha reduction in land use could be possible by excluding animal products from current diets. That is an area equivalent to Australia + China + European Union + United States. The author also shows that animal products use about 83% of the world’s farmland and contribute about 57% of food’s different emissions, despite providing only 18% of our calories.
