One Bite is Everything

Climate Innovation as a Blueprint for Systems Change — with Josh Dorfman


Listen Later

In this episode of One Bite is Everything, host Dana DiPrima sits down with climate entrepreneur and Supercool CEO Josh Dorfman for a wide-ranging conversation about how innovation in the climate space is quietly rewriting the rules for how change actually happens.

Rather than focusing on individual sacrifice or guilt, this conversation explores systems — and why the most effective climate solutions succeed not because people try harder, but because better choices are designed to be easier, cheaper, and inevitable.

Josh shares real-world examples from across industries, from electric trucking and clean infrastructure to agriculture and building materials, revealing a powerful pattern: when innovation works in one sector, it can spark change far beyond it.

This episode is especially relevant for anyone thinking about the future of food and farming. As Dana and Josh discuss, farmers are already some of the most sophisticated systems thinkers we have — navigating economics, ecology, technology, and risk every day. What’s happening in climate and tech may offer a blueprint for how we support small and mid-sized farmers, strengthen regional economies, and build more resilient systems in the years ahead.

This is a conversation about momentum, not perfection. About small steps that point toward something much bigger. And about how the future is built — not bought.

In this episode, we explore:
  • Why adoption matters more than awareness when it comes to real change
  • How climate innovation succeeds by removing friction instead of adding guilt
  • What electric trucking and clean infrastructure teach us about systems change
  • How agriculture fits into the broader climate and tech landscape
  • Why listening to farmers is essential to designing solutions that last
  • What these lessons mean as we look toward 2026 and beyond
