Hampton Creek, manufacturer of Just Mayo, is a food startup dedicated to bringing healthier and more affordable food to everyone, everywhere, through a more nuanced understanding of plants from every corner of the planet.
HarvestMark is a fresh food traceability platform which provides transparency about every stage of the food production chain. Shoppers can use it to give feedback and learn more about their food—such as where and how it’s grown and if it is subject to recall.
Label GMOs is a state-wide campaign to label genetically engineered foods. GMOs can be harmful to health and biodiversity, yet we may eat them regularly without knowing that we are doing so. The campaign defends people’s right to know what they are eating.
SupperShare is a San Francisco-based startup that connects hosts who organise meals at their homes to guests who want to experience local food and community. For each seat, SupperShare donates $1 to a charity partner.
Whole Foods is a nationwide chain of supermarkets whose aim is to support local food producers through ongoing partnerships to distribute their high-quality organically grown ingredients. Whole Foods is committed to sustainability and healthy eating education.
