Nutritious, delicious, affordable, local food. These 4 principles guide Taylor’s work across sectors and geographies as he work towards the UN Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger by 2030, having worked inside UNICEF, the World Food Programme, the World Bank, Save the Children, Mercy Corps, Unilever, and others over the last 10 years. Taylor works in Liberia, Brazil, Congo, Somalia, Canada, and the United States as he builds coalitions of local entrepreneurs, farmers, industrial manufacturers, and multilateral development institutions to design and take-to-market food products for people living in poverty. Taylor uses his academic background as an anthropologist to build food systems and new routes to market spending his days everywhere from smoky kitchens to the board rooms from where those that control the biggest actors in the food system make decisions. When not working he can be found (or not so found) getting lost running through a new city or on a multi-day trail run.

Taylor is also the Executive Director of Tailored Foods.
