Changemakers in Food

In this episode of Changemakers in Food, we sit down with Fredrik Moberg, a marine biologist with a PhD in systems ecology, deputy head of communications and researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and co-founder and co-director of the independent organisation Albaeco, which has helped organisations like UNEP and H&M turn sustainability science into strategy.

With two decades of experience translating science into stories that inspire action, Fredrik brings a unique perspective on the connections between biodiversity, agriculture and innovation in the food system. We discuss inspiring examples of sustainability initiatives from the industry, what’s next for regenerative agriculture, and why biodiversity needs to be higher on the agenda for food companies, including how it can be measured. We also explore biomimicry, the concept at the heart of Fredrik’s book Den uppfinningsrika planeten (The Inventive Planet), and how learning from nature’s own solutions can inspire new ways of thinking about food and sustainability.

In this episode, we’re joined by Anna Lindelöw Mannheimer, public health advocate, founder of NPO Frisk Mat, and Head of Brand and Communications at the mission-driven transformation platform PUSH.
With a background in design, communication and systems thinking, Anna works to transform the food system at the intersection of policy, practice, and storytelling.

Together, we explore the current state of public health, drawing inspiration from global initiatives tackling obesity and chronic disease. We also examine how food companies and public policy can drive meaningful, lasting change.

 Anna shares her vision for making healthy choices the default, why shifting norms is key, and how public meals can be a powerful lever for change. And highlights the importance of collaboration, shared purpose and hope as a strategy in food systems change.

In this episode, we’re joined by Victoria Voss, Head of Sustainability at Kavli Group — and one of the leading voices pushing the food industry forward.

Victoria shares how she found her way into sustainability, what drives her today, and what it’s really like to lead change as a midchain actor navigating both suppliers and retailers. We talk about the internal allies who matter most — from purchasing and innovation to manufacturing, marketing, and finance — and how to make a sustainability strategy truly visible across the organisation.

You’ll hear which KPIs actually stick, how Kavli works with sustainability, social and health indicators, and why collaboration across the value chain is essential for meaningful impact.

Victoria also shares practical advice for sustainability teams that want to accelerate their transformation and the skills every sustainability manager needs today.

Plus, she gives a behind-the-scenes look at co-developing the FoodFacts Hub and how data is reshaping their work.

If you’re working in sustainability, innovation, or simply want to understand how change really happens inside a food company, this episode is packed with insights you’ll want to take back to your team.

In this episode, we’re joined by Mattis Bergquist, former Head of Sustainability at Coop Sweden — and one of the country’s true sustainability pioneers. From “nerdy bug-watcher” to business-driven changemaker, Mattis has spent nearly 30 years bringing nature, science, and real impact into business decisions. Today, he continues that mission as the founder of Only R.

Mattis shares his journey at Coop from starting in 2020, what his priorities were and how they evolved, and what it actually takes to drive sustainability inside a large organisation. We unpack which internal stakeholders matter most, why the communications department became his first crucial ally, and how to activate teams across the company so sustainability becomes their agenda too.

He also shares the story behind one of his proudest achievements — Coop’s Sustainability Declaration — along with the development of the company’s internal Health Declaration and how data has been used to drive better decisions.

Tune in for Mattis’s advice to sustainability leaders on how to prepare for the coming years: the mindset, collaboration, and organisational readiness needed to navigate a rapidly shifting food system.
