Luke Spajic is a Plenitude Project Coordinator at ENOUGH, a mycoprotein company, where he also leads ENOUGH's policy work. He was a member of the UN Food Systems Summit sustainable consumption leadership team, has worked as a Consultant at the UN World Food Programme, and has led multiple campaigns to elevate healthy and sustainable diets at COP26 and other global forums. Luke has been published in Nature Food, The BMJ, and The Lancet Planetary Health. He also led an open letter campaign which saw World Wildlife Fund and UN Nutrition endorse a letter which included support for alternative proteins. The advice Luke offers in this episode is to think broadly and to reach out to people who interest you as this is a very collaborative and inviting industry.
