About us
Pioneering Sustainable Food Systems
Expertise, Passion, and a Commitment to a Greener Future
At Future Green, we are committed to transforming food systems for a sustainable future. Our journey began with the urgent need for sustainable food practices. Experiencing the environmental and social impacts of unsustainable methods firsthand, we dedicated ourselves to making a tangible difference. Our global team of consultants have gained expertise in the foodservice industry, uniquely positioning us to guide your sustainability journey.
Our founder and CEO, Heidi Yu Spurrell, driven by a personal commitment to sustainable practices, recognised critical gaps in the food system. She started this business to help others achieve genuine sustainability.
Heidi’s POV
After 15 years as a trailing spouse, moving globally for my husband’s work and raising our three kids on different continents, I decided to start my own business.
During a routine grocery shopping trip, I learnt about the detrimental impacts of the food industry. I discovered the routine use of antibiotics in animal farming, high fructose corn syrup masquerading as sugar, and hormones in milk. This led me to pursue a Master’s in Food Policy.
My passion for food sustainability grew from my commitment to feeding my family the healthiest, most sustainable food. This passion led me to found Future Green Global, a B Corp and leading food sustainability consultancy in Asia. Turning these challenges into opportunities was the best decision of my life.
