In Real Vanilla, Nature’s Unsung Hero LittlePod’s founder Janet Sawyer tells of her company’s mission over the last fifteen years to save real vanilla which was under threat of being lost within a generation. They have made a huge difference, encouraging the development of vanilla paste in a tube, supporting farming communities in the world’s equatorial regions and educating consumers all around the world about the importance and value of vanilla to the planet.
Through LittlePod supporting a pioneering polyculture orchard in Indonesia, it has helped educate future generations about a precious plant that is the heart of sustainability.
This is a fascinating story of how a determined woman used the ‘empty nest’ time in her life to build a company whilst learning about biodiversity, supporting farmers’ livelihoods and creating a family of human relationships – fondly known as ‘LittlePodders’.
