In this episode, host Amy O’Neill Houck speaks with Paloma Lopez, a self-described Impact Food Entrepreneur, sustainability consultant, and the CEO and co-founder of Future Fit Foods—a food startup based in Longmont, Colorado. We talk about a rethink of the supply chain as a value chain, a shift in food production focus towards circularity, and a redefinition of what convenience means now and in the future, all while finding joy in nourishing our bodies and minds.
This episode is brought to you by American Farmland Trust, the founder of the 15th annual America's Farmers Market Celebration. Each summer, AFMC brings together thousands of supporters nationwide to celebrate local food, agriculture, and community. Support your favorite farmers market as it competes for state, regional and national awards. Voting runs from June 19 through September 18 at markets.farmland.org.
