It was an energizing day recently at GWU with Food Tank and the Global Food Institute, exploring how policy, innovation, and entrepreneurship intersect to strengthen our food system. The insights shared reaffirmed why FES’s mission—to help food businesses grow responsibly and deliver safer, healthier food—is more relevant than ever. 

  

Why This Matters to FES 

  

Food Enterprise Solutions (FES) participated in the 1st Annual Food and Agriculture Policy Summit, co-hosted by Food Tank and the Global Food Institute at The George Washington University, in partnership with the Culinary Institute of America and Chef José Andrés. 

The summit convened policymakers, researchers, advocates, and industry leaders to explore practical, actionable policy ideas—from accelerating industry innovation and improving nutrition and health to strengthening climate resilience, cutting food loss and waste, and reimagining global humanitarian aid. 

 

Speakers also emphasized linking local community efforts with global food security—including how humanitarian aid, immigration, and development policies interact—underscoring the need for integrated, cross-sector solutions. 

  

At FES, these discussions resonate deeply. Our work centers on empowering food enterprises of all sizes to adopt technologies and practices that strengthen compliance, enhance safety, and open new market opportunities. FES has trained thousands of individuals across multiple countries and supported hundreds of food businesses in becoming “certification ready,” equipping them to meet national and international standards while improving consumer trust.  

  

As global trade expands, digital tools that make compliance accessible and affordable are key to ensuring that imported foods are safe, traceable, and trusted. Events like this summit reaffirm the importance of aligning policy leadership with enterprise-driven innovation to build a safer, more resilient food future. FES helps businesses improve operations, boost profits and grow their markets while contributing to a better global food system.  

  

Grateful thanks to Food Tank, The George Washington University, and all event partners for convening such an inspiring and forward-looking dialogue.
