Hodo, an organic-certified food company specializing in tofu products, is promoting sustainable eating practices this Earth Month by encouraging consumers to make environmentally conscious food choices.
The company outlined four key strategies for reducing environmental impact: water conservation, protein diversification, organic farming support, and cost-effective nutrition. Soybeans, the primary ingredient in Hodo's products, use significantly less water compared to animal agriculture and other protein sources, making them an environmentally friendly alternative.
Minh Tsai, Hodo's Founder and CEO, emphasized the importance of incremental changes, stating that small steps can contribute meaningfully to planetary health. The company recommends practical approaches like mixing plant proteins with meat, choosing organic ingredients, and exploring diverse global flavor profiles.
Hodo's commitment to sustainability extends beyond consumer recommendations. The company ensures zero waste in its production process, utilizing every part of the soybean and maintaining organic, non-GMO farming practices. Their approach has earned them the 2022 Business Environmental award for Sustainable Food Systems Leadership.
With a product line featuring globally inspired flavors like North African Harissa, Moroccan spices, and Thai Curry, Hodo offers consumers an opportunity to make sustainable choices without compromising taste or culinary variety. The company's products are available nationwide through grocery stores, meal kits, and food service partners, including major brands like Chipotle and Sweetgreen.
As consumers become increasingly aware of their environmental impact, Hodo's Earth Month initiative provides accessible strategies for making more sustainable food choices that benefit both personal nutrition and planetary health.
