About Food Sol
Food Sol supports eater-entrepreneurs to uncover and articulate what they care most about influencing in food-and then determine the "bite-sized" action they can take now to begin. Practicing the country's top entrepreneurial problem-solving method (Entrepreneurial Thought and Action®), Food Sol offers consulting, coaching, and market sensing to eater-entrepreneurs looking to navigate big food dilemmas and succeed in true triple-bottom-line food innovation.
People think and act the same way we eat: in bite-sized pieces. The big food dilemmas may seem overwhelming. But when dynamic, innovative thinkers sit down together-and engage in breakthrough interaction-they can design and scale change. Scaled change has the potential to become the new norm.
