Lotus Foods has led the way in promoting organic rice farming, rice biodiversity and farmers’ resilience
Lotus Foods, the leading heirloom and organic rice company announced Caryl Levine and Ken Lee Co-Founders/Co-CEOs have been honoured with a 2023 Momentum 100 Top Impact CEO Ranking. The award, from Big Path Capital, recognises Levine and Lee’s work leading the way in promoting organic and regenerative rice farming practices.
According to Big Path Capital, this year’s winners reflect the growing relevance of leaders who prioritise a broader set of stakeholders including the environment, their employees, their customers, their shareholders and their communities.
Rice sustains half the world’s population, and most are grown on small family farms. Producing it is hard on people and the environment. From the start, Lotus Foods tackled these challenges proactively. Since its founding in 1995, Lotus Foods has led the way in promoting organic rice farming, rice biodiversity and farmers’ resilience, and since 2008, creating incentives for growing methods that simultaneously mitigate climate change and empower women.
