Let us nurture our impact together and watch it blossom.
Our 8 Petal Framework represents a holistic approach to food integrity, focusing on the interconnected health of humans and the broader collective of life on earth. It encompasses eight critical impact areas that together help define a sustainable and nourishing food system that honors the relationship between human health and the health of every other living thing on Earth.
We are currently in the prototyping phase of this work. If you are a food company, grocery retailer, food systems nonprofit, healthcare practitioner, or eater, we welcome your participation and curiosity!
Minimal Processing & Additives
Food is healthier when it is made from simple, natural ingredients processed in wholesome ways and without excess sugar or novel untested substances.
No GMOs
Respecting the genetic integrity of nature is essential to the wellbeing of all living systems; reductionist engineering at the molecular level has no place in a resilient food system.
Regenerative Sourcing & Biodiversity
Agricultural practices that cultivate life above and below ground are the foundation of a nourishing food system and a thriving world.
Nutrient Density & Diversity
We believe in growing and formulating food in a way that values holistic nutrition and uplifts the potential for food as medicine.
Healthy Human Communities
We stand for the human right to grow, make, and access food in ways that are safe, healthy, and dignified.
Animal Wellbeing
Animals deserve physical and emotional wellbeing, and we honor that their health is inextricably linked to all health.
Mindful Packaging
Food should be packaged with care for interspecies wellbeing now and in future generations, including by minimizing food contact chemicals and pollution.
Your Unique Contributions
We recognize that each of us has unique potential, and we value our collective intelligence in continually discovering ways to pursue a retail food system that nourishes life.
