What would it look like if we completely re-designed the food system, product-by-product?
In this week’s episode, we speak with Julia Collins, Founder + CEO of Planet FWD, a carbon management platform for consumer companies to bring climate-friendly products to market.
Through her work with Planet FWD and more than a decade of experience leading food companies, Julia launched a cracker brand Moonshot Snacks, which she designed from the ground up with the goal of ensuring a carbon-neutral supply chain from farm to fork. She offers amazing insights and advice for next-generation food companies about how to adopt a regenerative mindset.
