The biggest challenge to making the global food system sustainable? It's not the capital needed It's not the technology to produce plant-based alternatives It's not the willingness of producers or retailers to invest into new products It is the consumer. It's the negative perception of "vegan" food. This was the unanimous opinion of all food panelists at the Green Business Building event of McKinsey & Company. At first sight, this problem seems easy to change but it's probably the hardest (because we have to get each and every consumer on board). Do you have ideas or examples how we can change the image of plant-based food and make the food system more sustainable (ecologically and socially)? #GBB24 #foodsystemstransformation #climateaction

A conversation with Stefania Avanzini, director of One Planet Business for Biodiversity OP2B, about working hard to create alternative vertically integrated, farmed-owned food companies and transforming the current #food giants. Because, whether we like it or not, most of the food we buy in supermarkets comes from these companies. These companies are finally feeling the pain from climate weirding in their supply chains. So, what are they doing about it, and why did 26 of them join the coalition of businesses for #biodiversity? https://lnkd.in/du8pRA8n

Have we turned a corner for the sustainable food (and broader VC) funding environment after hitting the bottom? A lot of the news Sonalie Figueiras and I talk about in this week's episode sure make it feel that way, with some bigger financing rounds and discussion of alternative forms of financing. The dolphin in the picture below is also pointing up, so that's got to be a good sign. Topics discussed this week: 🍔 SCiFi Foods completes its commercial-scale production facility to bring hybrid beef one step closer to reality. After trying the product last year, I can vouch for hybrid products taking taste to a new level. Now it'll come down to cost. Joshua March, Kasia Gora 📃 We discuss potential alternative forms of financing for early stage companies that could make better sense for sustainable food companies. I've been digging deep on this topic, and the recent creation of the Future Profit Partnership Agreement by Ines Schiller Ⓥ and Melanie Schichan have led me down another rabbit hole 💸 Have we turned a corner on the bottom of the market? With a flurry of raises by Infinite Roots®, Voyage Foods, chunk foods, and C16 Biosciences, it sure feels like it. Also fortunate timing for me, as I got to try the Chunk steak while having lunch with Beatriz Franco last week 🔍 For the positive this week, I call out Savor's unique approach to transparency for a company creating food in an entirely new way - TikTok. If a company like this can be transparent with the world via one of the biggest social media platforms in the world, then maybe other companies should re-think the black box approach. Nice work to Henrik Bennetsen, Chiara Cecchini, and the team over there on setting the bar high on transparency Link to this week's episode in the comments Link to the full Green Queen Media newsletter: https://lnkd.in/evn8D-3K
