VBT 118: Future of Plant-Based Business Panel with Tofurky’s Seth Tibbott & consultant Cale Drouin

In this episode I’m sharing a recording of a panel discussion I hosted last year at the 2018 Adelaide Vegan Festival in Australia, called the Future of Plant Based Business.

My guests on the panel were Seth Tibbott, founder of iconic American vegan meat brand Tofurky which is sold internationally, and Cale Drouin, a plant-based consultant in Brisbane, Australia who works with food retailers and distributors.

Among the topics we discussed are:

• What’s driving the take-up of vegan/plant-based living

• What plant-based products are currently ‘hot’ right now

• What to be aware of when dealing with large supermarket chains

• Strategies for getting your products into retailers

• How will ‘clean’ meat compete against plant-based meat?

• Pushback from animal agriculture industries in banning terms like ‘meat’ and ‘milk’ on products unless they come from animals

• What’s happening in non-food-related vegan business sectors and the opportunities this provides

• And more
