Why the Future of Food Entrepreneurship is Female
796 Jennifer Stojkovic: Food Innovation
Women Investing in Women and What It Takes to Set Up a VC Fund
There are lots of reasons to start a business: Wealth, independence, vocation. And changing the world is emerging as a prime motivator – especially for women.
So how must the $1.4 trillion food industry change to address hunger and climate change?
Turns out some 20% of greenhouse gases come from meat and dairy production, while studies show that investing in plant-based protein is 11 times more impactful in combating climate change than EVs and 4 times more impactful than green building.
Jennifer Stojkovic says the future of food is female, and that’s why she’s launching an early-stage venture fund to support sustainable protein and transform a $1.4 trillion market.
A Silicon Valley tech alum of Google, Meta and Microsoft who turned her attention to the future of food, Jennifer is the founder and general partner of Joyful Ventures, author of the book The Future of Food is Female, and the founder of the Vegan Women Summit, a platform with 60,000 members working on the future of food.
