Join us for a discussion to explore how intentional business strategies and partnerships centering regenerative practices, equity, and sourcing can future-proof a thriving plant-based foods industry - while also benefiting people and the planet.

As the leader of the Plant Based Foods Association, the first and only U.S. trade association for plant-based food companies, Rachel Dreskin enables the continued success and effective scaling of the industry on behalf of its 220+ member brands. She is also the CEO of the Plant Based Foods Institute, PBFA’s sister nonprofit, dedicated to driving transformation to a plant-based food system that benefits people, the planet, and animals.

At the helm of these complementary organizations, Rachel executes strategies to drive plant-based marketplace growth and empower plant-based food companies to proactively champion food system change.

Prior to joining PBFA, Rachel served as US Executive Director at Compassion in World Farming, where she led Compassion USA’s work to forge a more humane and sustainable food and farming system through measurable farmed animal welfare improvements and protein diversification. Before assuming that role, Rachel served as Compassion’s US Head of Food Business, overseeing the growth and development of the organization’s corporate engagement program.

Rachel also serves on the board of the Regenerative Organic Alliance, has guest lectured at leading universities—including Stanford University, the University of California-Santa Cruz, and the University of Delaware—and has been featured in top outlets like Bloomberg, Fortune Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, and more.
