Kelsey Tenney Of Voyage Foods: The Future Is Food Science

In this episode, we look into the future with Kelsey Tenney, co-founder and vice president of research and development at Voyage Foods, a CPG business focused on sustainability, accessibility, affordability, and future-proofing our favorite foods. What’s future-proofing? For Kelsey, it means making sure we’ll still have beloved pantry staples even if certain crops become inaccessible, and reverse-engineering flavors like chocolate and peanut butter so that we can enjoy them for years to come.

Kelsey talks with host Abena Anim-Somuah about almost becoming a baker, her mother’s influence on her career path, and what she learned working for some of the biggest food manufacturers around.

Don’t miss Kelsey’s Future Flash Five predictions and her voicemail to her future self.
