Jody Boyman spent a lifetime traveling the world as a wildlife photographer. But her trips opened her eyes to a world that was hurting from unsustainable food processes; thus, Hungry Planet was born. With her brother Todd, Boyman set out on a mission to create plant-based meat alternatives to feed a hungry planet with sustainability in mind. Hungry Planet is modernizing plant-based eating by adopting the concept of truly marrying food tech with food taste.
