Thanks for sharing, absolutely interesting!

I'm pretty sure that if you partner with someone that can package your food supply chain knowledge into a nice UI/UX experience (or doing it yourself, idk), you could produce and sell a decent piece of niche software for planning in food plants.

At $work we are into software for managing plants (not in the food industry), and the demand for tailor made planning functions is obvious.
