The jury’s motivation for the Sustainability Initiative of the Year reads::<\/strong>
\n\u201cThrough new innovative solutions, our winner challenges an industry that has a major impact on both health and the environment. This year’s winners gathered researchers, farmers, food processors and chefs to find good and sustainable alternatives to meat. This work has had a great impact in both stores and restaurants around the country. The work at Tors\u00e5ker has great potential to make a significant difference to the sustainable food supply of the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
