Day 2 Matereality Marathon
Productivity meets plant-based existential paradox
Hiya! Here we are at the end of day two of the Matereality Marathon (launched here), exploring global food company Danone’s role in the future we want by applying the Matereality methodology.

And so it was interesting just to talk through that relationship piece with farmers; she’s got some great insights.
And then the other thing that wasn’t totally up to date at the end of the day yesterday was the transcript for the one Anonymous stakeholder. You can nonetheless see their introduction and their context, where they fit…
