It's not a rant ...just questions 😌 Recently, a representative from Nestlé highlighted a challenge for them: the perceived reluctance of consumers to pay more for healthier, sustainable food options it limiting their ability to produce them. It's a valid concern, but one that warrants deeper exploration. Nestlé Research & Development, I echo your sentiment. Consumers are indeed hesitant to pay a higher price tag when they're unclear about what they're investing in. However, as a leading global food and beverage brand, it's crucial to reframe the conversation. Instead of viewing this as a barrier, why aren't we asking ourselves: How can we educate consumers? Firstly, let's shine a light on the fillers and additives present in many Nestlé Research & Development products, which we know when consumed regularity can contribute to various health issues. What if consumers knew that a slight price increase could provide them with whole, nutritious foods that enhance both physical and mental health. Secondly, let's address the staggering amount of non-recyclable packaging that ends up in landfills, impacting our environment and health. What if consumers understood that paying a bit more could lead to cleaner air and a more sustainable future? Let's resist the urge to take the easy way out. As a brand with considerable consumer influence, Nestlé Health Science, we have a responsibility to lead by example. Let's all take responsibility to pave the way for a healthier, more sustainable future. Together, we can drive positive change. 🌏 #sustainability #nestle #climateaction #positivechange #CorporateResponsibility #GlobalBrands #CorporateAccountability #CollaborativeAction #FoodIndustry #consumereducation #SustainabilityInitiatives #future

Last night's Mexico City FoodHack Meetup: Fundraising Strategies in FoodTech was an inspiring gathering at Nestlé Mexico's headquarters. The event brought together entrepreneurs, professionals, investors, and food enthusiasts to delve into the dynamic world of FoodTech. While the event was primarily conducted in Spanish, I wanted to share a brief summary for those in my network who may not be fluent in the language. The discussions centered around the evolving landscape of FoodTech companies, emphasizing the crucial role of fundraising in their growth journey. Speakers shed light on how many startups are increasingly prioritizing fundraising over their day-to-day operations, sometimes to the detriment of their long-term vision. One key insight highlighted by a Nestlé representative in the room was the cautious approach of investors, who often hesitate to support startups that are directly addressing pressing issues in the food industry. This cautious stance is often justified by concerns about market readiness and consumer willingness to adopt new solutions. Overall, the meetup provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities within the FoodTech sector. In considering these insights, one question that arises is: Will traditional food companies be able to sustain themselves in the future without embracing FoodTech innovations? This prompts us to explore the evolving dynamics of the food industry and the potential implications for both established players and emerging startups. #MexicoCity #FoodTech #FoodScience #FoodScienceTechnology #Nestle #Bimbo Moirae Choquette
