Cathy's conversation takes us through the vibrant corridors of the show, weaving stories of innovation, technology, and the spirited people behind them. She dives into the essence of what makes these events more than just exhibitions – they are incubators for ideas and partnerships shaping the future of our plates.

Beyond the bustling show, Cathy discusses the power of advocacy in the produce world. It's not just about having a seat at the table; it's about creating new ones. She talks passionately about grassroots movements and strategic policy engagement, crucial elements in steering the course of the industry towards a healthier, more sustainable future.
