We are delighted for our community who have now become investors in GoodSAM, PBC. 🥳 GoodSam have created a direct model that pays regenerative agriculture focused farmers in Central and South America and parts of Africa. They are removing the middlemen and brokers and supporting them through a multi-crop approach to off-take agreements. This ensures that farmers get a fair price, ensure sustainability and can continue their regenerative practices. 🦋GoodSam believes in Indigenous and smallholder farmers and the amplification of their voices to continue to develop climate and planetary solutions. They are led by Heather K. Terry who has been immersed in the food supply chain for over a decade, particularly consumer packaged goods. She is leading GoodSam with purpose-led and regenerative values as well as strong business acumen and experience in the sector You can buy GoodSam products in Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, Down to Earth Markets, Thrive Market - among others. The Gen-Re investors loved being able to go and buy the GoodSam products once they had invested and shared photos 🌴 This was one of our highest investments to date with the highest amount of community participation. We love that our community can now go and buy the products of the companies they have invested in.

"Our plantains grow in a lush, biodiverse (and steep!) landscape - the farms are remote and take hard work to harvest and transport each crop to the factory. The pineapples pose their own challenges since incorporating basic regenerative practices (like cover cropping) is next to impossible for this sun-loving species. Instead, our farmers are working to find the right species for intercropping and also practicing crop rotation to rehabilitate the soil".
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of joining our team in Colombia to visit our plantain & pineapple farmers as well as the factory where our fruit chips are baked to crispy perfection. What an unbelievable opportunity to meet the farmers who grow our products and to SEE first hand the hard work and care that is poured into every pineapple and plantain. Our plantains grow in a lush, biodiverse (and steep!) landscape - the farms are remote and take hard work to harvest and transport each crop to the factory. The pineapples pose their own challenges since incorporating basic regenerative practices (like cover cropping) is next to impossible for this sun-loving species. Instead, our farmers are working to find the right species for intercropping and also practicing crop rotation to rehabilitate the soil. All of our delicious fruits travel to Bogota, Colombia to be baked into flavor-packed crisps that are now available at Whole Foods Market nationwide! A BIG shout out to Erin Carroll at Hungryroot for joining us for the adventure and snacking on dried/fried ants with us! And thank you to Jacob Parsons for launching our Pineapple Slices with HungryRoot! And a special thanks to the GoodSAM, PBC sustainability team Shafia Naima Abdala Gallego & Javier Vasquez and JellyShot & Saida Abdala for shepherding us through Colombia! 😁

Over the past several years, the Non-GMO Project has gone deep on a few big questions: ✽ What is true transparency in the food system? ✽ What would it look like if certification evolved to meet the needs of a system that was truly trying to nourish life? ✽ What if, through the retail food system, we had the power to empower eaters to make choices that nourish both human and environmental health? We are proud to be launching the Food Integrity Collective - a community of food systems thinkers and stakeholders looking to evolve the paradigm of food certification to one that truly nourishes all life. Beginning in August, we have joined together with innovative and mission-driven brands in a year-long community of practice to tackle these big questions together. Califia Farms Atlantic Sea Farms Spicewell Honey Mama's Pasturebird Snacktivist GoodSAM, PBC In addition to workshopping and developing new programming and education content around the 8-Petals of Food Integrity, we are also hosting a number of experts in the field to help inform and hone our thinking. Cheers to co-creation! Stay tuned for other exciting announcements, including the launch of our FutureKind™ podcast. Megan Westgate 👋 Are you a brand interested in joining this community?
