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 and 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 also founded Moonshot Snacks, a cracker brand that she designed from the ground up with the goal of ensuring a carbon neutral supply chain from farm to fork. In our conversation, she offers amazing insights and advice for large and next-generation food companies about how to adopt a regenerative mindset.

We speak to Julia about:

  • How businesses can decarbonize
  • Soil health and regenerative agriculture as a climate mitigation strategy
  • A regenerative approach to product development, marketing, leadership, and organizational design
  • Using data and software tools to understand, reduce and neutralize brands’ carbon footprint and get on a path to net zero emissions.
  • How building a climate-friendly brand can create a deeper relationship with your customers
  • What messaging resonates most with eaters around climate-friendly food products
