Street food serves as a gateway to authentic flavors and culinary traditions from around the world. Chef Ana Saenz sees street food as an intersection of familiarity and excitement. “Street food resonates with the entire world because it represents nostalgia, tradition, convenience, connection, and discovery in a single trend.” For Street Food Discovery’s double take, Chef Ana prepared savory empanadas stuffed with potato and chorizo picadillo prepared with Griffith Foods Molida en Minutos and Custom Culinary® Salsa tipo Inglesa. This is served with a cabbage slaw and encurtido. Chef Jordi Gallego Paz, meanwhile, presented Inihaw na Baboy—pork skewers rooted in indigenous Filipino cooking and shaped by Spanish culinary heritage. Pork shoulder, marinated in black pepper and garlic sauce and glazed with Griffith Foods’ Banana Ketchup, is grilled and served with a refreshing green papaya salad.

We’re proud to join SAI Platform as well as 40 organizations from the food and agriculture value chain in signing the declaration of intent supporting the Regenerating Together Programme, a significant step forward in advancing regenerative agriculture across the global food system. At Griffith Foods, this commitment aligns directly with a fundamental pillar of our 2030 Aspirations, which is to create sustainable food system networks that restore nature and improve livelihoods. Through collaboration across the value chain, this initiative aims to accelerate scalable, practical solutions to some of today’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and farmer livelihoods. As part of this journey, we remain focused on our goal to help advance one million acres of regenerative agriculture by 2030, driving meaningful impact for people, planet, and future generations. We’re excited to collaborate with industry peers to learn, scale, and help shape a more resilient and regenerative food system. Thank you to SAI Platform for bringing this important initiative forward!
40 leading organisations from across the global food and agriculture value chain have signed a shared declaration of intent in support of SAI Platform’s #RegeneratingTogether Programme ahead of its upcoming launch. The declaration marks a significant step towards industry alignment on regenerative agriculture with signatories spanning vast global supply chains and varying production systems. The declaration recognises that the challenges facing food systems – including climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, water stress and pressure on farmer livelihoods – are deeply interconnected. It acknowledges that systemic change cannot be achieved in isolation, and that only through collaboration will ecosystem functionality, including soil health, biodiversity, water stewardship and climate resilience be achieved across the value chain. The Regenerating Together Programme (RTP) provides a structured, practical framework designed to help the global food and beverage supply chain transition to regenerative agriculture. Developed with input from farmers, agronomists, NGOs and academia, the programme establishes a set of shared impact areas, outcomes and indicators, while allowing flexibility for local adaptation. Through participation in the Programme, signatories are committing to working collectively to support the transition towards regenerative agriculture in ways that are credible, scalable, and grounded in real-world farming contexts. SAI Platform will host the public launch of the next phase of the Regenerating Together Programme in June 2026 at its upcoming Annual Event in Saskatoon, Canada.
