We’re pleased to share that the new Supply Chain Infrastructure Asset Map is now live!
After a year of research and collaboration with The Climate Source, we’ve developed an interactive tool that provides a heat map of production zones and market access options for diversified crops in the Midwest—covering everything from fruits and winter oilseeds to small grains, pulses, and tree nuts.
The lack of investment is a major barrier to scaling diversified crops, and feedback from our partners indicates that this is largely due to a need for greater insight and transparency in the supply chain. This map is designed to assess opportunities for investing in supply chain infrastructure that supports a more diverse cropping system. Our ultimate goal is to catalyze investment in the “missing middle” of the supply chain—processing, storage, and aggregation. With increased transparency and collaboration, we can tackle these challenges, scale up diversified crops, and build a more resilient, climate-friendly agricultural system.
