Notas del editor

  1. You can have a career that is doing well while doing good! And this is the time.
  2. I care about impacting rural poverty. Focus on agriculture in rural areas bc 75% of world’s poor are here. Via generating wealth, skills, and development – people reach their potential * Family link – grandfather grew up on a farm in Germany, grandmother and mother avid gardeners. Started my career in international development at Oxfam Followed the supply chain to Oaxaca Mexico and found a much more complicated story of Migration International trade Poverty Amazing coffee product Click through experiences Then: There are more than 1 ways to be an activist and engaged citizen. Activism is important to get companies to change. Other side of this is supporting companies to do the right thing What I’ve done NGOs Research Start ups and large corporate like Mars
  3. Farmers/producers Cooperatives Farms Buyers CPG (Unilever, Mars, etc) Small mission-based brands (Equal Exchange) Trading companies (sustainable harvest, Cargill, etc) Retailers Mainstream Supermarkets Natural Foods Stores Big-box stores Support organizations Development (oxfam, etc) Technical (ie technoserve) Finance (root capital) Certifiers Government Domestic USDA Emerging markets International, UN/ FAO
  4. Sustainability can be a separate department, or embedded within a function. I’ve worked in roles where it is embedded in a function. Each comes with advantages and challenges
  5. What would you remember about me? Hi, I’m Shayna Harris, I care about developing great quality food products that support farming communities for a sustainable future, and I vehemently believe that we can and will have both in our food supply chains. I develop and execute programs that are strategic and make a difference to the industry. I am a creative problem solver and effective change agent.
  6. Understand your skills How do the skills developed in one sector translate to another? For example: My campaign strategy experience can be applied to sustainability strategy in the private sector
  7. What is your skill set? Analytical Corporate communications Operations Finance Strategy and leadership Scientific research etc For example: My campaign strategy experience can be applied to sustainability strategy in the private sector
  8. Look for books to push and expand your knowledge Development as Freedom – Amartya Sen Chocolate Nations: Living and Dying for Cooca in West Africa – Orla Ryan Follow thought leaders – columns, blogs, twitter New York Times columnists Michael Pollen and Mark Bittman Marc Gunter’s blog The Guardian – INSERT NAME OF NEWSLETTERS Join relevant industry and trade organizations The Sustainable Food Lab The Sustainability Consortium
