Throwback to last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos. But don’t worry, I didn’t go to support business as usual. From @mainebiz_ : “Davos has long been seen as an annual forum where positive and innovative change can be made, but also as a place where the international elite and the world's largest companies are overrepresented in influencing the global economy in their direction,” Warner said. “The opportunity to champion a different approach to building food systems in the face of climate change, by putting people and planet first, and by showing how business can be used as a force for good rather than focused purely on profit, was one that I was glad I was able to take.”
“Our partner farmers are making the ocean healthier and adapting to climate change, not because of government subsidies or carbon credits, but because it's the right thing to do for them, for the ocean they have spent generations protecting, and for their children,” she said.
Seen here on a panel with the Minister of Environment for Equador (Gustavo Manrique), Michael Goltzman, VP of Sustainability at Coca-Cola, and Douglas McCauley from @ucsantabarbara.
