COFFEE BREAK: Better than Net Zero from Day 1 – Introducing Climate Friendly Snacking

Climate Friendly Snacking. Can crackers really fight climate change? Or be carbon neutral? Over 25% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the global food supply chain. Come learn more about how Airly Foods (owned by St Louis-based Post Holdings, Inc) is looking to challenge the way food is made from seed to shelf to create Climate Friendly Snacking where every box sold actually removes greenhouse gases from the air!

FEATURED GUEST

• Jen McKnight, President and Co-Founder of Bright Future Foods, the makers of Airly Climate Friendly Snacks

Jen has spent over 20 years in consumer packaged goods, beginning her career at Procter & Gamble as a mechanical engineer. She went on to earn her MBA at Kellogg School of Management and enter a career in brand management, working at companies including Clorox, Premier Nutrition and Campbell’s where she successfully led growth and innovation on a range of iconic brands across many categories. Jen passionately believes climate change is a colossal challenge that needs bold solutions NOW, that’s why she made the decision to dedicate all her efforts toward driving innovative solutions to this threat. For the past several years, she and her Airly co-founders have been on a mission to reverse climate change through food and prove to the world that it’s possible to create a snack that is not only delicious, affordable and convenient, but climate-friendly too! Airly Oat Cloud crackers are pioneering as the world’s first cracker to remove CO2 from the air, and are the first snack product to empower consumers by printing their carbon footprint right on the package. Airly envisions a world where we can rethink our food supply and make climate a part of our purchase decisions to create a brighter future for us all. Bringing Airly to life has been a labor of love, and Jen is excited to be tackling one her most interesting and important challenges to date: getting the word out about the role we all can play in tackling climate change together!
