Join us for a compelling discussion with Nora LaTorre, who leads Eat Real's mission to revolutionize school food systems through technology and data-driven approaches. As a pioneering force in sustainable food systems, Nora brings extensive experience from agtech (Ganaz), global trade (Fair Trade USA), and retail sustainability (Target Corporation) to address one of healthcare's most pressing challenges: the impact of ultra-processed foods on children's health outcomes.

Under her leadership, Eat Real has achieved significant policy wins, including the 2024 California school food dye bill, while implementing scalable solutions that are reaching over 500,000 students in 10 states and are on track to reach 1M students by the end of the year. The organization's innovative approach combines digital tracking systems, sustainability metrics, and health outcome data to transform school nutrition programs.

In this episode, we explore how emerging technologies and data analytics are reshaping school food systems, measuring health impacts, and scaling sustainable solutions across districts. Nora shares insights on using technology to tackle rising health concerns, from early puberty to declining fertility rates, and discusses how digital transformation in food systems directly impacts population health outcomes.

Key Topics:

• Technology infrastructure for large-scale school food programs
