“The chain is only as strong as its weakest link, for if that fails the chain fails and the object that it has been holding up falls to the ground.” – Thomas Reid The theory of constraints is a management principle that essentially states that achieving any goal is usually limited by a small number (or often a single) constraint. Put more simply, it says that “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link”, and that to make the chain stronger (that is, to achieve a goal), an individual or organization must focus on the weakest link. The plant-based food industry is early in its development. Like a teenager, it exhibits an exuberance of youth with its eagerness, excitement, and enthusiasm. Despite recent headwinds, the industry continues to believe its fortunes will not just endure but thrive. Though valuations have plummeted, and the money flow has ebbed, there somehow seems to be a belief that the show will go on.
