2. Clinical reorientation.
               For forward-thinking clinics, this shift creates opportunity.
               They can:


                   •  Focus on outcomes over volume.
                   •  Deploy staff in remote support roles, not just
                       procedural ones.
                   •  Leverage AI-enabled platforms to track long-term
                       therapeutic efficacy with less overhead.

               Rather than scaling up complexity, clinics that embrace
               plant-based platforms can scale down—and scale out—as
               accessible, digitally connected, biologics-literate
               community hubs.



               3. Pharmacies: From Centralized Dispensers to
               Decentralized Networks


               Specialty pharmacies emerged to meet the demands of
               complex biologic logistics:


                   •  Refrigeration from manufacturing to patient.
                   •  Complex insurance coordination.
                   •  Monitoring refill compliance for high-cost drugs.
                   •  Managing narrow dispensing windows.


               In return, they’ve become a multibillion-dollar segment of
               the pharmaceutical supply chain—often extracting value
               simply for navigating complexity.

               But what happens when the complexity disappears?


               With edible biologics:
