Pioneers for the Philippines - WTH Foods

Food Meets Climate Podcast with Simon Newstead

As a biologist, Stephen Michael Co understands and has witnessed first-hand the destructive nature of industrial agriculture on our environment. With a support for small-hold farmers as well as a love for science commercialisation he started his own vegan craft beer company Nipa Brew. 5 years later and Stephen is now the CEO of the Philippines’ first plant-based protein company Worth The Health (WTH) Foods. In this week’s episode we get raw and real about the challenges faced when starting up in a region where the market is early, as well as the complexities that arise when trying to find the right co-manufacturer. We also talk about the potential positive impact of micro algae, and what other exciting things WTH Foods has lined up for the future.
