PMA Takes on Tech, Episode 8: The Last Mile

This episode is a rebroadcast of a live PMA Virtual Town Hall held in September. In this episode we talk about the Last Mile for fresh produce and meal delivery. It is a truism in the on-demand industry today that the very last step of the supply chain is the most crucial, as well as the most problematic. Owing to its place in the end of the chain, it is often referred to as the ‘Last-Mile Delivery’. Distributing produce and prepared food direct to consumer was gaining traction prior to the pandemic and we have seen more mainstream acceptance as a result of it. We hear from Ashley Tyrner CEO and founder of FarmBox Direct https://www.farmboxdirect.com/, Manoel Coelho CEO and founder of Speedbird Aero https://speedbird.aero/ and Bobby Healy CEO and founder of Manna Drone Delivery https://www.manna.aero/.  Here are the videos mentioned in the podcast: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HouJtmM0cIv0UfDu3pQjcQgu2QrzwGjR/view?usp=sharing and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UyBUdgy2krxXqU7VTaP2ZslVdUwrQ26P/view.  Lots of cool drone talk in this episode!
