Carbonhound

✨ What a night! ✨ How to Build Canada into a Global Sustainable Food Superpower! Last night, for Canada Climate Week Xchange (CCWX), Carbonhound and RBC opened our doors to bring together leaders from across the food value chain to explore how sustainability, innovation, and collaboration can help Canadian food compete (and win) on the world stage. 🌎🥗 A few standout themes from the fireside chat + panel: 🔹 Flavour starts in the field - and transparency + education can help more people understand the real work (and value) behind ingredients. 🔹 Canada’s “missing middle” is real: we grow incredible inputs, but we need more regional processing + value-added capacity to scale competitiveness. 🔹 Proof matters - traceability, supplier data, and credible sustainability metrics are increasingly becoming the ticket to global markets. 🔹 Sustainability can be a business advantage: regenerative practices, packaging innovation, and operational efficiency can lower costs, reduce risk, and strengthen resilience. 🔹 Food security can’t be an afterthought - it belongs in the same conversation as competitiveness. Huge thank you to our incredible speakers and moderator for the candor and energy: 🎤 Fireside: Shane Harper (Restaurant Pearl Morissette) 🎙️ Moderator: Sanders Lazier (Carbonhound)& Natasha Shute (RBC) 🗣️ Panelists: Joshua Goodman (Sobeys), Taylor Stanley (Riverside Natural Foods Ltd. (Home of MadeGood), Jason Persall (Persall Fine Foods Co.) And a big shout-out to the team who made the “taste” part of the night unforgettable: 👩🍳 Miriam Echeverria for the sustainability-inspired bites 🍸 Mixology Matt for the sustainability-inspired cocktails 💚 We were also proud to extend the impact beyond the room by supporting Second Harvest (Lori Nikkel O.Ont) as food leadership has to include food access. Thank you to everyone who came in person, tuned in virtually, and added to the conversation.
