We are well and truly into exam results season in many parts of the world and so we are having a bit of a focus on careers.

In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, we welcome the brilliant Abi Aspen Glencross to the podcast.

Abi is Co-Founder of FoodSquared, which makes plant-based shellfish.

Her previous role at Duchess Farms saw her spending her time searching the globe for the best varieties of grains, whilst she also co-founded The Sustainable Food Story, a platform to help tell stories of what sustainability could look like from different perspectives, including farmers, academics, activists and more.

She says her mission is to add a sense of hope to often bleak discussions on the ecological crisis and encourage collaborative efforts towards finding solutions.

Abi also has a background in cellular agriculture.
