These factors challenge us to produce, store and distribute grain more efficiently. At the recent Rome World Food Summit organized by the United Nations', Food and Agriculture Organization, over one-third of the recommendations focused on reducing storage losses caused by pests. Sustainable Agriculture Increasing food quantity and quality is of global importance. However, producing more food may adversely impact our environment. Hedley's technologies are designed with environmental preservation in mind.
Sustainability is the heart of all future product development.
In 1996, Hedley announced the formation of The LRS Group. The Group's focus is educating the North American and International markets about Loss Reduction Strategies for grain and food. The LRS Group intends to consult on technologies to solve loss problems arising from insects, toxins and rodents. The education service is key to our growth, especially in developing countries.
