Shaking things up in the Food industry by championing women to speak up | Fearless Foodies ®️ Founder | Oh for Food's Sake Podcast Host | Coach | Keynote Speaker
In Episode 134 of the Oh For Food's Sake podcast, released yesterday, we delved into the world of sustainability in the ready-meal industry. Charlie underlines the importance of balancing product recommendations with production capacities while impacting consumer choices. **Utilise Available Data to Drive Business Decisions** Smaller businesses should leverage epos data and conduct gap analyses even with limited resources to stay competitive. Use consumer behavioural data from sources like Cantor and sales data from epos to complement each other for a more comprehensive understanding of the market. Analyse market performance regularly and stay updated with industry data to plan effectively and make informed decisions regarding product placement and shopper behaviour influences. **Foster Sustainable Practices in Product Development** Aim to minimise packaging and reduce food waste by considering recyclability and developing ready meals that you can freeze to extend their shelf life. Stay informed about environmental impact and strive to balance convenience with sustainability, exploring options like compostable packaging and facilitating consumer education on proper disposal. Work with stakeholders across the supply chain to collaborate on reducing carbon footprints—consider adopting a "carbon share" approach that shows the environmental impact of products alongside their market share. **Emphasise Continuous Learning and Adaptability in Category Management** As a category manager, consistently upgrade your skills to influence sustainability initiatives effectively. Knowledge in evaluating carbon emissions at the product level can be particularly impactful. Stay adaptable to legislative changes and evolving consumer demands that push for greater sustainability. Recognise your influence as a category manager on the short-term and long-term industry landscape and your essential role in shaping consumer choices towards healthier and more sustainable options.

Sometimes Sonalie Figueiras and I talk about things in sustainable food that are interesting, but fairly straightforward. This episode felt like a lot of back-and-forth on very subjective topics, such as founder transitions and startups responding to (what I'd call) weak journalism Listen in to hear more about: 👨💼 👩💼 Various leadership changes happening at companies within sustainable food. From Perfect Day to TiNDLE Foods, there's a lot of movement, and some of it seems more smooth than others - Ryan Pandya, Andre Menezes ✍ UPSIDE Foods responds to yet another negative piece by Bloomberg, and I try to understand Sonalie's thoughts on how they should respond to these articles, from a journalist's point of view. The one clear thing is that everyone will have an opinion, but this is not a black and white topic - Uma Valeti, MD 🥣 WK Kellogg Co introduces a new cereal line that's plant-based and focused on high protein and strong macro-nutrient profile, which hits directly on consumer trends, especially for younger generations. Tough blow for players like Magic Spoon, but a win for consumers Read the full newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/ejs7uDZJ https://lnkd.in/eMP2Ab3N

Adam Sarfati is saving the world with corn. His business HeapsGood packaging launched just as COVID took a hold, and like a lucky few, accidentally timed it perfectly. The increase in online sales through the lockdown period was the perfect time for online retailers to invest in reducing their impact on the earth, and the biodegradable corn based mailer satchels were just the right product. What started as a single product store, has turned into a thriving multi product business which aims to close the loop on waste, creating products which bio degrade in home compost bins, which not only happens quickly leaving you something you can use in your garden, but reduces the amount of methane produced as a result. In this episode of The Good People Podcast, Adam takes us through how the business started and where they are heading in the future.
