food sustainability

ETL is off this week, but in its place, we’re pleased to share the first episode of a new podcast from Stanford eCorner and STVP called Move Fast and Fix the Planet. It’s about climate and sustainability entrepreneurship, and this episode features ETL host Emily Ma, head of special projects in sustainability, real estate, and workplace services at Google. Delve into Emily's journey as an intrapreneur focusing on sustainability within Google's internal operations, particularly in the realm of food systems. Learn about the unique opportunities and obstacles she’s encountered in building a more sustainable future. Gain insights into the entrepreneurial mindset, the intersection of technology and agriculture, and the importance of holistic approaches in addressing global challenges. Move Fast and Fix the Planet is hosted by Mike Lepech, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford’s School of Engineering.

Joining us right now is Paul Shapiro, CEO of the Better Meat Company—a company on a mission to reinvent "meat". They’ve got plug-and-play mycoprotein formulations that quickly and cost-effectively enhance (or even replace) meat products while improving nutrition, flavor, and yield. He's also the author of the best-selling book, Clean Meat: How Growing Meat Without Animals Will Revolutionize Dinner and the World, and the host of the Business for Good Podcast, a podcast that I might add closely mimics what we're doing here, except of course, his is better no doubt, because as a host, let’s face it, I am questionable at best. He's been a five-time TEDx speaker And has published more than 100 articles on food sustainability. Now, he's using mycoprotein to satiate, humanity’s collective "meat tooth".

Right now there is this push of fear over what happens if there are shortages in our food supply but we were not made to live in fear! God has provided us with the resources to grow our own food, even without a large garden. What if we were to grow our food right in our kitchen!?! Today I want to share with you a few new ideas of how you can use your kitchen space not just for preparing food but also for growing it!

Founders Peter Awad and Nick McCann knew they wanted to build their business around giving back.  They’ve done this with their high-quality, clean, no-nasties meat sticks, bars, and jerky.  10% of all profits go to social organizations like BonZeb in Haiti, Perspectives Minnesota, and Educate! in Africa, and over 100 independent Dream Centers across the country.  Could a veggie stick be in their future?  Listen and see!
