The food industry is facing unprecedented challenges in the 21st century: climate change, population growth, resource depletion, health crises, and social inequalities. These challenges require radical changes in the way we produce, distribute, and consume food. However, many food companies are still stuck in outdated and harmful practices that endanger the environment, the farmers, the workers, and the consumers.
