I’m so inspired to see highly creative, values-driven innovations like Sowly come onto the food landscape. It’s a C-change from super fast, mass produced, unconscious #bigagriculture and personally I think this kind of movement can’t come quick enough. As a behavioural eating coach, a theme I often explore with clients is the symbiosis between conscious eating (selecting, preparing, sharing, assimilating) and the myriad consequential health benefits that ensue. Awareness and consistent action = lasting change at my client’s level, and it’s the same with Sowly ‘s broader vision. If consumers can directly influence — first through awareness and then conscious consumerism — the fields, soil health, and farmer’s wellbeing before it reaches our fork, chances are the health of humans and planet will also significantly uplevel. Well done Natália Baránková for getting this venture off the ground. I can’t wait to learn more. 🌱🌱🌱 #sustainability #behaviouraleatingcoach #supplychains #soilhealth #fieldtofork #consciousconsumerism

🦚 The sustainability 'say/do gap' was a key theme emerging from the Tesco Gail Stevenson FutureBridge Edward Bergen and Tasting the Future Mark Driscoll panel chaired by Simon Waring at Food Matters Live: 👉 Price, taste, convenience and health all rank higher than sustainability for consumers in reasons to buy 👉 Sustainability for shoppers means avoiding plastic and food waste - ingredient sourcing and environmental costs of production are less top of mind 👉 As vegan sales plateau, pulses, nuts, seeds and mushrooms as meat replacement move centre stage 👉 Signs of more consensus on how to calculate carbon cutting measures among food companies, but a way to go 👉 Cultivated meat will come to market, the time may not be too far off Briony Mansell-Lewis Hannah Mulea Catherine Friar Green Seed Group #sustainablesourcing #foodmatterslive #foodtrends

We love to see businesses taking action to improve their sustainable credentials - and Knowledge Labs from Nutritics is here to help... Knowledge Labs from Nutritics is working with leading foodservice wholesaler Sysco to create and deliver a bespoke training programme that will give Sysco colleagues the knowledge and tools to support customers in becoming sustainable. We have developed a programme around a number of key topics, including Climate Change; Carbon Footprinting; Operational Sustainability; Healthy and Sustainable Diets; and Food Waste. Michael Ransby Andersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Sysco GB, said: “By far the biggest portion of our carbon footprint as a business is the food that we sell. This training aims to transform our sales teams into sustainability champions – supporting our customers to better understand the impact that they can have through their businesses and in particular their menus." Stephen Nolan, CEO of Nutritics said: “This partnership provides a fantastic opportunity to work collaboratively with Sysco – sharing our expertise and knowledge to help empower colleagues to make a difference and support customers on their sustainability journey.” Knowledge Labs can help operators in areas such as shaping their Net Zero roadmap, understanding their waste and carbon impact and improving employee education and engagement with sustainability programmes, all of which will strengthen reputation, build trust with consumers, staff and investors, and grow market share. #Sustainability #Foodservice #Food
