Plant-based foods are top-of-mind for consumers and food companies alike. The market for plant-based products is not steady by any means — a lot of change and growth is ahead of us. In this episode of Consumer Foods-to-Go, Maria Castroviejo and Cyrille Filott interview Lindsay McCorkle, lead banking officer for plant-based protein at Rabobank, on these changes. She will talk about many trends, including new technologies and declining prices. In the second part of the conversation, Lindsay will discuss funding trends, including equity and debt, as the money coming into the sector will, at least partly, determine the future success of plant-based foods. Lindsay will talk about this fundraising and how plant-based companies are being valued.
