Sustainable Sourcing 101

How should plant-based food companies approach sourcing strategy while keeping sustainability, equity and regenerative principles in mind? What are some of the main challenges facing plant-based food companies and how can sourcing and impact assessment address these challenges?

Session Description: Join Udi Lazimy, Principal and Founder of Udi Lazimy Consulting LLC., and former Global Head of Sourcing and Sustainability for Eat Just, as he describes approaches to sustainable sourcing strategy and LCA (“Life Cycle Assessment”) for innovative, sustainability-minded food brands.
