What if the real food crisis isn’t calories, but diversity?In just the last century, we’ve lost 75% of global crop diversity, and today 90% of our food comes from just 15 plants. The rest? Slowly disappearing from fields, diets, and cultures.In this episode of Tomorrow’s Bites, we sit down with Kamogelo Thumankwe, founder of Tsarona, an African superfood brand with a mission that goes far beyond nutrition. Born and raised in Botswana, Kamogelo shares how her personal roots, climate justice work, and lived experience led her to build a business that fights biodiversity loss, empowers smallholder farmers, and challenges the global food system’s obsession with trends and monocultures.We explore:Why indigenous crops like Bambara groundnuts and tiger nuts could be key to regenerative food systemsHow European consumer choices directly shape what farmers grow in the Global SouthWhy Tsarona is not trying to create the next “superfood hype”The tension between scaling a startup and staying true to your valuesWhat it means to build a food brand rooted in identity, culture, and justiceAnd much more...👋 GET IN TOUCH WITH US👥 ⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠📸 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠🌎 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠😊 The Guest: ⁠⁠Kamogelo ThumkaweLook into the company: ⁠⁠⁠Tsarona
