The last two years have been incredibly tough for many businesses.

Many businesses have been surprised by the surge in demand, as well as the competition now entering all food segments.

The drivers of ecology, health and animals have always been there.

What's changed?

We are witnessing the early stages of the largest disruption in food production since the industrial revolution.

We are witnessing a shift away from animals for food protein in the next 15 years.

It’s a great opportunity to be ready for growth in 2022 and beyond.

Testimonial

“Bob’s presentation is absolutely excellent. He really understands this huge wave and opportunity presenting itself to the world. Bob presented a compelling story and size of the opportunity clear” - Nick Hazell, CEO of V2 Food

The event was great! I felt uplifted afterwards. The networking & presentation showed new possibilities - vegan businesses need to get a move on! Vegan businesses can be so supportive, we just need to reach out and connect! This event provided opportunities for future collaborations.

Amanda - The Kynd Kitchen

The event gave us a chance to connect with vegan businesses that we would not otherwise have been able to. Pressing questions are also answered by Bob and other business founders in a welcoming environment. Also, a note about Bob’s events, he has a way of driving engagement amongst a group. We valued the complementary events he put on through Covid-19, where many businesses collaborated and shared ideas in an online discussion forum.

Colin & Gordon - Green Gourmet Family

Bob has been instrumental in bringing knowledge and expertise to vegan business owners looking to grow. His facilitation of group information sessions has provided my business with new directions and insights that have a direct positive impact on growth and profitability.
