I’m excited to present at the 2025 Menus of Change Leadership Summit! This conference is a must for chefs and foodservice professionals who are looking to shape the future of food through sustainable, healthy and delicious menu items. This year’s Summit will tackle topics including value and affordability, food policy, #sustainable sourcing, and reducing food waste. I’m looking forward to moderating the Repurposed Food Solutions competition where chefs from attending organizations will submit top solutions/recipes that leverage #upcycling and address a food waste #solution within their organizations.

Sustainability! Not only a vision but facts backed by data and hard work! 🌱   At Agrain by Circular Food Technology, we’re not just talking about sustainability - we’re proving it. Our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) highlights the environmental impact of our upcycled spent grain ingredients compared to conventional flours.   The results? 🔹 53x less land use 🔹 22x less water use 🔹 12% lower CO₂ emissions   Agriculture drives 70% of biodiversity loss globally, and over half of agricultural land is degraded. By using upcycled ingredients like Agrain, we’re preventing further damage to soil, water, and the planet - while unlocking more food with less impact.   Our mission doesn’t stop here, sustainability is an ongoing and never ending effort, and the results will only materialize in strong partnerships with suppliers, partners, and customers.   Working proactively with sustainability through a 3rd party validated LCA is a guarantee for all that when we say impact, it is measured and it is proven 🌍. ♻️ Every Grain Counts   #Sustainability #Upcycling #FoodInnovation #Agrain #LCA #EveryGrainCounts Aviaja Riemann-Andersen Selcuk Yildirim Marta Benedet Martin Thomsen Sepher Bashari Bente Hjortskov Ema Kosova Anna Verlinde Moe Brandi Michael Forster Kjell Redecker Philip Guttenbrunner Stig Juhl-Rasmussen Charlotte Petersson Karoline Lund Andersen Thomas Bogh Samsø Sørensen

Bravo to UFA member Fresh Del Monte!

A message from Hannah ❤️ Twelve years ago, I left my job to flip the cereal aisle on its head. I was only 29, but I’d seen (had?) enough. Our food system is broken and it impacts people’s lives and our planet’s health. I had the support of Brady (thank god), and that’s about it. We started a family, we blew through our savings, Brady joined full-time eventually—is there an acronym for Three-Kids-No-Income? I got a second job to cover our living costs. Most days it felt like we were pushing a boulder up a hill, and it took everything we had to stay focused on our North Star, our mission. We couldn’t quit; it was too important. Never in a million years did I think we would be sharing this story on the Today Show! I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity. With our kids in tow at the office yesterday morning, we all sat and watched the segment air live. We soaked it in, our oldest teared up (he’s old enough to have felt the hardship), and we cheered when it was over. The recognition was beautiful and heavy. The only part I disagree with is the title of the segment—“She Made It.” To me, it feels like we are just getting started.
