Over the last 12 months IGD has trained over 40 businesses how to ‘sell more and waste less’. Through one-day workshops we showed small food businesses how they could increase their sales and reduce costs both on and off the farm via extensively tested methods that were proven to deliver commercial benefits.

We are now making the information more widely available as this free online resource. The training material has been turned into fact-sheets, a step by step guide and also case studies to showcase how small food businesses have used the ideas behind ‘sell more and waste less’.

The information below will help you think about your business as a whole from the raw materials you use to the customers you serve by:

  • Learning how to manage value along the supply chain and what value means to suppliers and customers alike
  • Identifying and reducing waste in all its different forms much of which is hidden and often not appreciated
  • Equipping yourself with simple tools and techniques that can be used to sustain competitive advantage

The material provided here and elsewhere on igd.com will help improve your understanding of markets and marketing as well as helping you to produce more efficiently.
