When it comes to food and the environment, it's easy to get lost in all of the information. But while we are figuring out what to eat next, food production is contributing to 12% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. Hi, I'm Kelly D'Amico, and if this resonates with you, you're in the right place. Over the past eight years, I've worked in the food industry understanding food production, manufacturing and sourcing. I have a bachelor's degree in food science and a master's degree in global food technology and innovation. I've spent the last several years of my career learning about sustainable sourcing and product development. I started Made to Sustain, to share this information with those who really want to make an impact. Now I'm thrilled to be bringing it to you in a brand new way – The Made to Sustain Podcast!
