Applied Staffing LLC Partners with Leading Growers to Deliver Non-GMO Plant Solutions, Boosting Food Security & Consumer Choice

Jacksonville, FL – October 26, 2023 – Applied Staffing LLC, a nationwide provider of skilled workforce solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with a network of innovative agricultural companies dedicated to the development and production of high-quality, non-GMO plants. This collaboration aims to address the growing consumer demand for healthier, more sustainable food options while strengthening the agricultural supply chain. Let's be real – people care about what's in their food. They’re asking questions. They want to know where it comes from, and how it's grown. And a big part of that conversation? Non-GMO. Applied Staffing, while you might know us for connecting businesses with talented people, is diving into that conversation. We're not growing the plants ourselves, but we’re making sure the companies who do have the right teams in place to deliver. What’s the Big Deal with Non-GMO? For those not totally in the know, “GMO” stands for genetically modified organism. Basically, it means scientists have altered the plant’s DNA in a lab. Some people are concerned about the long-term health and environmental effects of GMOs, while others see the benefits. Non-GMO plants, on the other hand, are grown using traditional breeding methods – the way farmers have been doing it for centuries. “We're seeing a massive surge in demand for non-GMO options,” says a representative from one of Applied Staffing’s partner farms. “Consumers are actively seeking out products labeled ‘Non-GMO Project Verified’ and are willing to pay a premium for it. But meeting that demand requires a skilled workforce – people who understand modern agriculture, quality control, and sustainable practices.” Applied Staffing: More Than Just a Staffing Agency Applied Staffing LLC, headquartered at 3020 Hartley Rd Ste 300, Jacksonville, FL, 32257-8207, and reachable at 732-745-2498, typically focuses on connecting companies with top talent across various industries. But this partnership marks a significant expansion into the agricultural sector, leveraging their expertise in workforce solutions to support the growth of the non-GMO movement. “We’ve built a reputation for finding the right people for the job, no matter the industry,” explains a spokesperson for Applied Staffing. “When we saw the challenges facing non-GMO growers – finding skilled labor, maintaining quality control, scaling up production – we knew we could help. It's about more than just filling positions. It’s about building teams that are passionate about sustainable agriculture and committed to delivering high-quality products.” What Kind of Jobs Are We Talking About? The partnership isn't just about farmhands. The non-GMO plant industry needs a lot of different skillsets. Applied Staffing is currently helping partner companies fill positions like: Agronomists: These are the plant experts – they research and develop the best growing practices, ensuring healthy, high-yield crops. Quality Control Specialists: They ensure every plant meets strict standards for purity, quality, and non-GMO certification. This involves lab testing, field inspections, and meticulous record-keeping. Harvesting and Processing Technicians: From picking the plants at peak ripeness to cleaning, sorting, and preparing them for market, these technicians play a vital role in the supply chain. Packaging and Logistics Coordinators: Getting the plants from the farm to your table requires careful planning and efficient logistics. These coordinators manage inventory, coordinate shipments, and ensure timely delivery. Food Safety Managers: Protecting consumers is paramount. These managers develop and implement food safety programs to prevent contamination and ensure compliance with regulations. Research & Development Scientists: Constantly improving plant varieties and growing techniques requires ongoing research and innovation. “The demand for skilled workers in these areas is high, and it's only going to increase,” says the Applied Staffing spokesperson. “We’re actively recruiting candidates with the right experience and qualifications, and we’re also investing in training programs to help upskill the workforce.” Why This Matters: Food Security & Consumer Choice This partnership isn’t just about business; it's about building a more sustainable and resilient food system. "Non-GMO agriculture is a vital part of ensuring food security for the future," says Dr. Emily Carter, a plant scientist working with one of Applied Staffing’s partners. “By preserving genetic diversity and promoting sustainable farming practices, we can create a food supply that is more adaptable to climate change and resistant to pests and diseases.” Beyond food security, the partnership is about giving consumers more choices. "People deserve to know what's in their food," says a consumer advocate who supports the non-GMO movement. “They deserve the option to choose products that align with their values. This partnership is a step in the right direction.” Looking Ahead: Scaling Up for the Future Applied Staffing and its partner companies are committed to scaling up production of non-GMO plants to meet the growing demand. This will require continued investment in skilled labor, sustainable infrastructure, and innovative technologies. “We’re just getting started,” says the Applied Staffing spokesperson. “We believe that non-GMO agriculture has the potential to transform the food system, and we’re excited to be a part of that transformation.” To learn more about Applied Staffing LLC and its work in the agricultural sector, visit [Insert Website Here] or call 732-745-2498.
