#16 Creating delicious & regenerative futures – with Raphaelle Moatti

In this episode, we meet Raphaelle Moatti, founder of Delicious Future, a public benefit corporation with a mission to accelerate the shift to regenerative eating. We discuss her work and how she combines human perspectives, systemic thinking, and rigorous research with technology to impact individual health and environmental sustainability. An added subtext narrative is about her journey of diverse skill acquisition and how courage and creativity can open new quests aligned with one’s identity and deeper values. This conversation made me completely rethink my relationship with food and consider the deeper meaning of eating, as well as how to synthesize the treads in my own aspiring entrepreneurship. I hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
