Artisan Row Food Design + Strategy’s Post

How between a company with "champion healthier and responsible food for all" as a mission and an organisation that "accelerate the transition to sustainable food systems and healthy diets " wouldn't there be a great fit? But furthermore we could clearly see from that great day that not only the mission but the vision, values and mindset are shared!! And , as Anne Pitkowski, PhD said, considering the urgency of this sustainable & healthy transition, every organisation fitting with this beautifull ambition should join #nextfoodcollective #forallforgood

Last Friday, 70 food industry insiders traveled near and far (Toronto, Mexico City, NYC, Boston, Pittsburgh, Miami...) to LA for the inaugural HNGRY Summit, a day of conversation, collaboration, and connection. The feedback I received underscores a real need we have in this industry to create multi-disciplinary forums that tap into the collective wisdom of operators, founders, and investors across the entire ecosystem from restaurants to CPG, retail and the broader supply chain. Throughout the day we heard from the founders of Blackbird Labs, Inc., Anytime Spritz, goop Kitchen, and Everytable and hosted amazing breakout sessions with Timber Grove Ventures, Hyphen, Martie, Bluestein Ventures, Cookin Inc., and Maker Kitchens on food-as-medicine, the future of ghost kitchens, foodservice automation, food waste, and content x commerce. We are facing a critical juncture in the future of our food system where so many of the decisions we make today will influence decades to come. Such pivotal decision points require the presence of many stakeholders at the table, and while we were just a few dozen people in a room in LA, we must recognize that change starts small. See you next year? https://lnkd.in/gPMUkMQT
