6: How Canada Can Actually Scale Food Innovation | Dana McCauley | The Future Herd

Canada produces extraordinary food. But can we scale food companies globally? In this episode, Jesse Hirsh interviews Dana McCauley — one of Canada’s most experienced food innovation leaders. From her early career as a chef to leading innovation inside major food manufacturers and now helping shape national commercialization strategy, Dana has seen every layer of the system. We discuss: • Why commercialization is Canada’s biggest food innovation bottleneck • What founders misunderstand about scaling • How culture inside companies determines success • The gap between research and manufacturing • Why ecosystems — not individuals — drive durable growth Dana shares hard-earned insights from decades inside the food sector and explains what Canada must get right if it wants to compete internationally while strengthening domestic resilience.
