Returning guest Matthew Glover - Chief Mission Officer at The Vegan Food Group announces his latest acquisition and lays out future plans for the company. The group comprises several plant-based food companies, including VFC® (Vegan Fried Chick*n), Meatless Farm and Clive's Purely Plants.
As the plant-based food segment has seen recent declines in sales, we reflect on potential reasons and discuss strategies to regain growth momentum. We discuss effective marketing to omnivores and how documentary films have helped drive sales growth.
Given Matthew's history as the original co-founder, we also analyse Veganuary's 2023 campaign results.
The vision ahead is painted to evolve and lead the global movement towards plant-based eating for planetary health and animal welfare. https://veganfoodgroup.org/
