Women bringing innovation to food tech
“Empowering women leaders is core to our mission, strength and innovation at Impossible Foods,” said Bindu Garapaty, VP of Diversity and Inclusion at Impossible Foods. “We recognize the collective power in partnering with Vegan Women Summit. We want to highlight the pioneering women in food and technology who are working to save our planet.”
“Whether it’s innovating on food technology solutions, advocating in government, building a climate-focused nonprofit, or leading a sustainable eating initiative at their school, women of all ages and backgrounds are leading the way for a kinder, more sustainable world,” said Jennifer Stojkovic, Founder of Vegan Women Summit. “Women of color and their voices are often overlooked and underrepresented in these industries. By partnering with the world’s leading plant-based innovator, Impossible Foods, we can bring worldwide attention and support to these women. We help them take their work to the next level.”
