We are seeing a paradigm shift among consumers toward a new holistic view on sustainability. The old consumer paradigm of, “I choose to eat what is good for me and also good for the planet” has shifted to “What is good for the planet is also good for me”. Historically, consumers around the world report they were interested in companies, products, and actions that support the environment, but few were willing to pay a premium. As sustainability has morphed from a parallel of healthy nutrition to a fully integrated component of a product’s healthfulness, delivery and price will become less a barrier. In fact, we see sustainability becoming more of a requirement for a healthful definition.
