Hey Climate Confident listeners, in this fascinating episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ali Wing, CEO of Oobli, about the incredible potential of sweet proteins to revolutionize our diets while reducing the climate impact of our food choices.

During our conversation, we delved into how Oobli is harnessing the power of precision fermentation to create sugar alternatives that are zero-calorie, perfect for diabetics, and boast a much smaller environmental footprint than traditional sugar production. Ali shares insights into the rigorous R&D process behind Oobli's first-generation products, and how they're working to bring their innovations to markets around the world.

We also touched on the broader climate benefits of sweet proteins, from reducing emissions in the food industry to promoting more sustainable food choices. Ali gave us a sneak peek into Oobli's upcoming product releases, including their fruity sweet teas – a category with immense potential for reducing sugar consumption and addressing global health challenges like obesity and diabetes.

Finally, Ali shared her thoughts on the burgeoning food tech space, and how companies like Oobli are contributing to a cleaner, healthier, and more climate-resilient future. If you're curious about the world of sweet proteins, how they can transform our food system, and their role in mitigating climate change, you won't want to miss this episode!
