    Food systems account for around a third of global greenhouse gas emissions and are the leading driver of biodiversity loss, so immediate positive change in this area is crucial if we are to avoid catastrophic consequences from the ecological crisis.

    We are a London-based sustainability tech company with a sense of urgency and passion for working on something that contributes to the solution.

    Foodsteps was founded in early 2019 by Anya Doherty, while she was researching sustainable food systems at the University of Cambridge. Foodsteps was set up to build a scalable and affordable way for food companies to measure, reduce and communicate their environmental impacts from farm to fork. Since then, we have gone on to win Innovate UK's Sustainable Innovation Fund Award in 2020, and roll out our B2B SaaS platform and carbon labels to food companies in the UK, Hong Kong, Canada and the US.

    We have recently secured a substantial fundraise to propel the next steps of our journey, and are extremely excited to be welcoming new members of our team across all of our work streams.
