#53 - How to Grow Plant-Based with Michele Simon: The Policy Challenge

Category: Arts
Duration: 00:40:38

Description:

Michele Simon is the executive director of the Plant Based Foods Association. She has a background as a public health lawyer and there are few people who understand the nuances of the challenges and opportunities in the plant-based food space better than she does.

Our conversation today centers around policy issues, which tend to often get ignored in favor of all the positive news around new product releases and investments in the plant-based food world.

We discuss:

  • recent efforts by the meat and dairy industry to keep plant-based products from being labeled as “milk” or “beef.”
  • The upcoming Farm Bill and what are the most pressing issues for the plant-based food industry.
  • How we can all get involved to help strike down harmful food legislation and actively support the growth and expansion of the plant-based food industry.

I hope you find this conversation interesting and extremely informative.
