Consumers continue to be conscious about the brands they support, and increasingly seek out sustainable and ethical companies, as well as those representing diverse ownership. In fact, values-based buying was named one of SFA’s top trends of 2021 by the SFA Trendspotters Panel. SFA News Daily asked retailers for their picks of popular products from women-, veteran-, and/or BIPOC-owned businesses.

“Supporting diverse food brands means supporting and acknowledging the rich contributions that people of color bring to our foodscape. Representation is so important for us all to come along on as we move toward a food culture that is equitable and sustainable. Both are required for the future so many of us ache to see, for our Earth and for humanity,” said Kelly.
