Solving the Last Mile Challenge in Food: Waste2Plate Cohort Showcase & Kickoff
Why do 80% of breakthrough food innovations never make it to your plate?
The answer lies in the last mile—that brutal gap between brilliant ideas and real-world impact. And right now, a select group of food rebels is cracking the code.
Join us for an unmissable evening as we dive into one of the biggest barriers faced by food innovators today: the last mile challenge. From upcycled ingredients to circular systems, getting sustainable food to market is no small feat—and we’re bringing together the people who are cracking the code.
