Join us for the first episode of our special 4-part Animal Protein Sustainability Series, with me, David Dayhoff, as your host for this series.

We'll also explore the "say-do gap"—the difference between what consumers say they want from their food purchases and the actual purchasing decisions they make. Sasha also shares practical tips on how businesses can incorporate sustainability into their operations while boosting shareholder value. Tune in to stay ahead in sustainable practices and learn how these changes can create value for both businesses and consumers. Don’t miss out—listen on all major platforms!
