Raised on Oahu, Hawaii, an island with limited natural resources, I understood the importance of caring for the land or, ‘malama ‘aina,’ as we say in Hawaiian. As I became older, I learned more about the immense carbon footprint caused by industrial factory farming, which led me to adopt a plant-based diet. I struggled to find an alternative to replace jerky, my go-to snack, that wasn’t filled with ingredients that sounded like they were made in a lab, so I set out to create my own.
