Ep. 36: Shauna Sadowski – Head of Sustainability, Natural & Organic Operating Unit at General Mills ||<\/h3>\n

On episode 36 we welcome Shauna Sadowski – Head of Sustainability, Natural & Organic Operating Unit at General Mills. “The way we manage agricultural lands is driving many environmental and social challenges and I seek to create solutions that account for a more balanced, triple-bottom line (people, planet and profits) outcome. I care deeply about the food that ends up on your plate and work to create a healthy and balanced system for people and the planet”<\/em>\u00a0explains Sadowski about our role in properly managing natural resources to feed ourselves moving forward.<\/p>\n

\"\"Throughout the 45 minute conversation Shauna shares some interesting anecdotes of situations that have arisen in her time at as VP at Annie’s, and most recently while managing the organic allotment of General Mills’ vast arsenal of products.<\/p>\n

“I believe that food companies have an opportunity and a responsibility to play a significant and positive role in creating a more sustainable food system. I work cross-functionally and throughout the industry to create programs that enable transparency to the farm and a deeper understanding of how our agricultural and farming systems connect to the foods we eat.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this year Annie’s and General Mills launched a wireframe for their regenerative scorecard.\u00a0 The objective of the scorecard tool is to encourage producer commitment and consumer awareness to soil health. \u00a0It seems a shared language would be a big win for food values. \u00a0Now, heading up Sustainability and Organic brands for a fortune 500 company with 38,000 employees – Shauna continues to demonstrate her commitment to moving the industry more regenerative through creatives approaches that bridge a production divide. \u00a0 \u00a0It’s interesting stuff – have a listen:<\/p>\n
