Welcome to Fork The System — a podcast spotlighting the innovators, researchers, and advocacy leaders reimagining how we feed the world.
Our ninth guest is actually a panel of three guests: Dr. Tawanda Muzhingi, Matt Tom, and Jaishree Singh from the Global Forum for Plant-Based and Alt Proteins. The goal of this organization is to unite and empower stakeholders in the plant-based and alternative protein space, and expand this industry globally to be more inclusive for all.
Since I'm switching to a monthly upload schedule during the school year, expect new episodes once a month (the next episode will be released on November 18th)!
