"Food is one of the biggest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, which is the major cause of climate change. But I believe that socially responsible food businesses like ours can help to avert the oncoming climate crisis by setting the very highest environmental standards for food sourcing and delivery. We make it easy for people to buy planet-friendly groceries, from planet-friendly farmers, delivered in electric vehicles wherever possible, and with absolute minimum packaging." - Ben Pugh, Co-Founder & CEO @ Farmdrop
