Tyler joined Nil Zacharias on the Eat for the Planet! podcast to talk all things agriculture, climate change, plant diversity and more. 

Some of the topics covered include:

• What is Cool Beans and why Tyler decided to focus on building a food company with beans at its core.

• The challenge of building a new category based on the philosophy of using simple ingredients with minimal processing and with no oil and sugar added.

• Why taste matters and how Tyler and his team formulated the products to be packed with flavor, without compromising on their efforts to stay minimally processed.

• Shifting the mainstream food media narrative from biotech to beans.

• The problem with monocultures and why we need more crop diversity in our food system.

• Why soil health matters for our health and the environment.

• Transforming the conventional American food culture of convenience and burgers to include beans.

• Are alternatives proteins just the first wave of plant-based products?

• Why Tyler believes healthy, whole plant-food based products is where the market is heading.
