We’ve supported Food Frontier from its early days and continue to be impressed by the team’s disciplined, sophisticated and highly strategic approach, which has achieved exponential influence for an organisation of their size.

Nick Chadwick

Head

Thanks Simon Eassom for the work you and the entire Food Frontier team do to highlight the opportunities and challenges in creating a more sustainable food future.

Kristi Riordan

CEO

Had it not been for a conversation with Food Frontier, I'd likely still be in fintech – but Food Frontier inspired me to start All G. We’ve built an amazing team reimaging meat and dairy using plant proteins and precision fermentation, and are well on our way with our Series A raise - already securing $25 million in investment with more announcements to come. Together we are designing a sustainable food future, by creating alternative proteins in dairy and meat categories. Thank you Food Frontier for your independence, your research, insights and connections – your leadership is gold!

Jan Pacas

CEO

Food Frontier's reports, research, and events are consistently high-quality, offering valuable insights and fostering collaboration in the plant-based food industry. Their work is a reliable resource for businesses looking to stay informed, adapt to trends, and look to the future, particularly during challenging times. Their work is purposeful, impactful and is having a positive impact on the category as a whole.

Tammy Fry

Global Brand Lead

Food Frontier has played a key role in accelerating our research on the social dimensions of protein transitions at MQ. Over the past few years they have facilitated introductions to key stakeholders, co-hosted and presented at research workshops, provided advice on research plans and strategies, and participated in research projects as interviewees. The team has been fantastic at supporting senior researchers as well as higher degree research students and have helped bridge the gap between academia and industry.
