Since the time of the Ancient Greeks, stories have moved the world. It is through stories that we connect, care, and act. Think David and Goliath and how strongly you root for the obvious underdog each time you hear the story. While in the recent past, leaders, philosophers, and emperors inspired masses, our generation is much more moved by fellow Davids: ordinary people turned extraordinary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food Heroes 20 features 20 individuals who are transforming outdated food systems and changing the narrative around possibilities of thriving without necessarily harming the planet. Their life’s work is creating a better, fairer world for animals and humans alike.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who is a (Food) Hero?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyday heroes spread hope and inspiration: a person not unlike us, who finds themselves in circumstances calling for a hero… except there is none. And so, instead of waiting for someone bigger or better, they see their own greatness for a tiny second, take a leap, and the rest is often history. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Entrepreneurs, especially those in the vegan space, are the successors of the great heroes of the past. When we look at the food supply chain, from farmers to food producers, retail, and consumers, there are powerful stories at every stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

They’re building companies because they\u2019ve decided to solve issues of pain and inequality for themselves and others. All the while, they\u2019re making vegan lives around the globe tastier and more convenient, and even converting some meat-eaters along the way. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
