Two of the biggest issues on the global agenda are nutrition and climate change. These are equally important for India. Add to this the plight of Indian farmers and we have some tough challenges. Typically, solutions for these big issues work in silos. The Smart Foodl approach is about finding solutions that are good for you, the planet and the farmer, in unison. The first step in achieving this is to focus on diversifying staples with Smart Foods. Given that staples are often 70% of a meal and typically refined carbohydrate, hence there is little nutrition being gained, this is where we can have big impact. Millets and sorghum are excellent foods to target to diversify staples and they fit the criteria of being Smart Foods.

Smartfood- Good for you - the planet - the farmer by Joanna Kane-Potaka, Assi...ICRISAT
This was brought together in a holistic approach with a recommended focus on Smart Food – food that is defined as good for you (nutritious and healthy), good for the planet (environmentally sustainable) and good for the farmer. It was highly recommended to learn from all the interventions suggested but to not implement these in silos. Instead to find solutions that fulfil all the criteria of Smart Food. This was presented by Joanna Kane-Potaka, Assistant Director General, External Relations, ICRISAT. She explained how development had focused on food security when stopping mass starvation was needed, later with the recognition of hidden hunger, nutrition security was added and now the UN talks about sustainable diets – diets sustainable on the environment. The recommendation is that the focus now needs to be on Smart Food – food that fulfils all criteria of being good for you, the plant and the farmer.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
