Season 2 Episode 5
The Canterbury Plains are making waves in agritech innovation.
This episode of the Bold Company Podcast features Ross Milne, CEO of Leaf Foods, and his story showcases Kiwi innovation at its finest 🌱
After working with major food companies in China and Europe, Ross returned to Canterbury to lead Leaf Foods, a company that's shaking up the food production system. Their goal? To get five times more protein per hectare compared to traditional dairy farming.
Ross takes a no-nonsense approach to business: "We have to do three times more with the money that we have than any other company." This mindset keeps them agile and laser-focused on their mission to create sustainable food that people actually want to eat.
"If we can connect environmental impact with a strong impact on people's lives, that's pretty special."
🎧 Listen to Ross's full episode on the Bold Company podcast to learn more about how this local team is quietly revolutionising food production.
The second season of the podcast is sponsored by Christchurch Airport – growing the engine room for Canterbury businesses and ChristchurchNZ, the city's economic development agency, shaping an economy where people and places thrive.
