Sustainability Solutions for the Fresh Produce Industry
Core Programs & Services
Custom-built for fresh produce operations, our solutions reflect how businesses actually operate—from the field to packing and processing facilities and focus on the most pressing challenges facing the industry today.
With over a decade of experience working alongside the fresh produce industry, Measure to Improve has helped lead some of the industry’s first sustainability initiatives, including early zero waste programs, sustainability certifications, and current work supporting growers through the USDA Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP) Project.
Designed to support sustainability reporting, compliance requirements, and operational improvements across the fresh produce supply chain, our solutions are grounded in a clear business case that supports return on investment and long-term decision-making.
Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHG) Solution
Build a credible greenhouse gas emissions inventory that supports sustainability reporting, buyer requests, and evolving climate disclosure requirements. Our GHG Solution helps companies organize emissions data, define inventory boundaries, and build a structured approach to greenhouse gas emissions reporting—designed to reflect how produce operations actually work.
