Sustainable food production as an overriding goal: Producing companies are faced with the challenge of having to operate sustainably and yet profitably. However, these two factors do not necessarily have to be mutually exclusive.

How can a company produce as efficiently as possible given the circumstances? Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is playing an increasingly important role in the food industry in particular.
