Every organization operates in a different context — with unique constraints, opportunities, and priorities.

From targeted advisory to fully integrated solutions,
designed around your needs.

Strategic Advisory

Integrated Advisory Across the Food System

Operating at the intersection of impact performance, financial structuring, and market access, Anderson-Berens Consulting (ABC) bridges science, policy, and markets—where many initiatives struggle to connect.

ABC supports organizations across the full value chain, from farm-level production to international markets, translating environmental and social performance into credible strategy, investment readiness, and commercial opportunity.

With over 20 years of experience working across public institutions, private sector actors, financial institutions, NGOs, and research organizations, ABC brings a cross-sector perspective grounded in both technical rigor and real-world implementation.

The firm integrates analytical depth (including MRV systems, greenhouse gas accounting, and value chain analysis) with strategic advisory, partnership development, and execution support—ensuring that sustainability efforts are not only credible, but financeable and market-aligned.

Engagements span geographies and commodities, including livestock, fruits, vegetables, and staple crops, with a strong focus on Latin America. Clients and collaborators include multilateral institutions, international organizations, global agribusinesses, retailers, research institutes, and standards bodies.

Drawing on a global network of over 3,000 professionals across food systems—including experts in finance, sustainability, policy, research, and value chain development—ABC assembles tailored teams to complement in-house expertise and ensure each engagement is supported by the right capabilities and perspectives.
