Vegan Planet-Friendly Meals

Sodexo Launched the Sustainable 'Future 50 Foods' on a Global Scale

— September 11, 2019 — Social Good
With mounting concerns regarding climate change and food scarcity, Sodexo is leading the way in sustainable, planet-friendly food with the launch of its 'Future 50 Foods.' The food services and facilities management company has partnered with Knorr Professionals, a food and beverage brand, and World Wildlife Fund-UK, a leading conservation organization, to serve sustainable, plant-based foods on a global scale.

The Future 50 Foods have been specifically chosen by a team of scientists, agricultural experts, and nutritionists for their flavor, health benefits, accessibility, and of course, their low carbon footprint. These foods have been paired together to create five delicious recipes that will be incorporated in 2,5000 kitchens across the United States.

Recipes for meals such as Vietnamese Ancient Grain Bites Plate, Ube Maitake Tartine, Ancient Grain Granola Bowl, Tuscan Chickpea, and Polenta and Rapini Bowl will allow consumers to "incorporate plant-based ingredients into their diets that support the ongoing bio-diversity of our food system and are readily available for purchase in most marketplaces."
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Plant-based Foods - The launch of Sodexo's 'Future 50 Foods' highlights the growing trend towards sustainable, planet-friendly plant-based foods.
2. Low Carbon Footprint Foods - Sodexo's 'Future 50 Foods' emphasize the importance of choosing foods with a low carbon footprint, making it a trend for businesses to develop and promote environmentally friendly food options.
3. Bio-diversity in Food System - With the incorporation of diverse ingredients in their recipes, Sodexo aims to promote bio-diversity in the food system, creating opportunities for businesses to explore innovative and unique plant-based products.
Industry Implications

3. Food and Beverage - The shift towards sustainable, planet-friendly foods creates opportunities for food and beverage companies to develop and market innovative plant-based products that cater to conscious consumers concerned about climate change and food scarcity.
