Ecosystem Thinking: a Recipe Against Inaction

Factoring people's well-being and overall impact into business choices is no longer a matter of values, but one of survival. There are several approaches to reconciling planetary health with profit. But one thing is for sure: working as a system and sharing knowledge is essential to expedite this process. On this episode of FoodTech Junkies, we dive into exactly this with FoodTech Magazine’s funder and now author Beatriz Romanos. She is a disseminator, innovation coach, mentor, and industry pioneer. We picked her brain to learn what her vision is for helping companies, startups, and organizations in the food and restaurant industry hit the 3P sweet spot.
