  2. collaboration with provenance: Provenance Is a Sydney based wholesaler who sell single origin malt to businesses to use - they benefit customers as they gain unique values of the soil from a variety of farms that have been linked up for the best possible use of the grain to please customers and reach potential the grain has when in use
  3. customer concerned goals: Past 100 years has been concerned with yield where values and goals are changing to provide the best flavour and health benefits to consumers - they are now seeking to commercialise this with the variety for a large scale
  4. Breaducation: educating the youth who will be the future consumers as to what makes good food and where it derives from so they can apply this knowledge as they grow and begin being active consumers
