Julia Collins: Combating Climate Change | SALT Talks #121

Julia Collins is the CEO of Planet FWD, a company on a mission to tackle climate change by expanding regenerative agriculture adoption. The company is building a software platform for regenerative agriculture alongside a climate-smart snack brand. Climate change is the most important and pressing issue facing our planet and the food we eat plays a significant role. Regenerative agriculture represents an environmentally thoughtful approach central to combatting climate change. Between the 1940s and 1970s, the Green revolution introduced new nitrogen-based farming practices that helped boost crop yields but simultaneously destroyed soil. “Regenerative farming has the capability not only to create healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy people, but also to sequester carbon and address the legacy load, which is part of the solution to climate change.” Moonshot snack brand is the first explicitly climate-friendly snack brand. On top of launching crackers as its first snack product, Moonshot helps other companies shift their operations towards a more planet-forward approach. This includes offering data and tactical recommendations other companies can use and implement in their production. ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit salt.org/talks Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.
