26. Future of Food

As a treats and snack company, our team at Mars Wrigley is obsessed with thinking about how consumer preferences and cultural values will impact the future of food. We’ve seen how brands act as cultural change agents, taking a stand on issues like climate change and other sustainable practices, while the ebb and flow of consumer adoption is not always consistent.

In this episode, our host, global foresight leader Jo Lepore, dives into current developments being made within the food industry to create more sustainable, healthier, and delicious food. Joining her are three powerhouse experts and leaders within the food and health industry:

Seth Goldman, Chief Change Agent at Eat the Change, Co-Founder at PLNT Burger, and Chair of the Board at Beyond Meat.

Andrew Loader, Founder & CEO at Openway Food Co. and former Mars Wrigley General Manager.

Kaitlin Mogentale, Founder and CEO at Pulp Pantry, an emerging upcycled food brand and Shark Tank alumni.

Together, they give their insights into the future of food, health and opportunities for change. They also discuss the struggles and challenges in this movement, and how collaboration and conscious effort can address the prevalent issues within the food and health space.
