Organic Produce Summit, an event exclusively dedicated to connecting buyers and suppliers in the organic fresh produce industry, announces the first content sessions for this year's summit. Held July 10-11 at the Monterey Conference Center, the Organic Produce Summit features educational sessions and keynote presentations and showcases solutions and innovations across grown food providers.

Nicholas Bertram, president & CEO of Flash Foods, will give a keynote presentation titled Feeding Families, Not Landfills on Flash Foods' collaborations with various retailers and grocers to address food waste, a $428 billion problem as over one-third of the nation's food supply goes unsold or uneaten.

A panel, Strategies and Insights for Expanding Organic Fruit Sales, featuring panelists West Mathison, president & CEO of Stemilt, Scott Mabs, CEO of Homegrown Organic Farms, and Daniel Spivey, national director of produce - fruit for Sprouts Farmers Market, will focus on ways fruit producers are seeking to build their organic fruit program, how other fruit commodities are growing as the berry category continues to dominate organic fruit sales, retail perspectives on opportunities and obstacles in driving greater consumer sales and the future of the organic fruit industry. Tom Barnes, president of Category Partners will moderate the panel, taking place July 11.

OPS connects buyers and suppliers in the organic fresh produce industry.

The summit will bring together over 175 organic growers, shippers, and processors from all corners of the business, providing a one-stop shop for retailers and buyers in the organic and fresh produce industry.
