About this episode
Glenn Hurowitz discusses how advocacy is influencing global agriculture and corporate practices.
In this episode of Future of Foods , Glenn Hurowitz, Founder and CEO of Mighty Earth, explains how strategic advocacy is reshaping global agriculture. From deforestation linked to soy and beef supply chains to methane emissions and industrial livestock production, Mighty Earth has built a reputation for turning investigative research into high-impact corporate pressure campaigns. Glenn explains how NGOs identify leverage points inside multinational food businesses, how public campaigns translate into boardroom action, and why voluntary corporate commitments so often fall short. We explore the tension between collaboration and confrontation, the growing scrutiny on greenwashing, and what real climate leadership in food and agriculture actually looks like. This conversation goes beyond headlines to examine power, accountability, and the mechanisms that drive systemic change. This episode offers a candid look at how pressure from the outside can move some of the world’s most powerful companies.
