These insights will be used by the stakeholder to formulate new management strategies for resolving inconsistencies in produce quality, improving outcomes, and increasing produce value. The resulting decision support platform will provide a visual dashboard where stakeholders can perform analytics, query and visualize the results, and use insights to shape management practices.
