For our eleventh episode, Sarah sits down with Grant Reid, the former CEO of Mars Incorporated who is now serving as the chair of the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) Agribusiness Task Force. And then, rather fittingly, Sarah connects with one of SMI’s Agribusiness Taskforce members in the form of PepsiCo as she sits down with the food giant’s executive vice president and chief sustainability officer Jim Andrew.

Then, Luke talks plant-based pathways with Jasmijn de Boo, chief executive of food awareness organisation ProVeg International, which is on a mission is to replace 50% of animal products globally with plant-based and cultivated foods by 2040. So, is this the COP that finally puts food system transformation on the menu?
