Challenging the Global Food System: Why There's a Future for Plant-Based Solutions - JJ Kass
Updated: May 9
As the global population continues to grow, it's becoming increasingly clear that our current food system is unsustainable. From the enormous amounts of greenhouse gases produced by the meat and dairy industry to the devastating impact of overfishing on our oceans, there are many urgent challenges that must be addressed if we're going to create a more just and sustainable world. Fortunately, there's reason for hope: plant-based solutions are emerging as a powerful tool for creating a more sustainable food system.
To learn more about the potential of these solutions, join us for May's Career and Leadership series with JJ Kass, Vice President of Business Development & Strategy at Next Gen Foods.
