Who We Are
NextGen Purpose is a media company & global network of foodies aimed at raising awareness around regenerative & healthy food practices to make better-for-you-food more accessible. By providing entrepreneurs with resources and mentorship, we aim to deliver greater access to more informed and healthier food choices, for all.
Origin Story
Founded in 2018, we started as NextGenChef: a place for food professionals to share and connect. Then we did what we helped our members to do: we grew! Now we’re NextGen Purpose, a media-driven community that provides entrepreneurs with resources and mentorship, to deliver greater access to more informed and healthier food choices.

Justine is the Founder and CEO of NextGen Purpose & the Host and Executive Producer of the Essential Ingredients podcast, which aims to inspire and educate foodies everywhere. It’s all about boosting driven, forward-thinking folks & initiatives in the regenerative food scene. Being an entrepreneur helps Justine understand the motivations and struggles of the founders, innovators, and impact investors she teams up with every day. She has become recognized as a leading voice in raising awareness about sustainability, regenerative practices, and the importance of global education surrounding better-for-you food. Justine strongly believes that EATING right is a HUMAN right, which is why she works to make better-for-you-food more accessible for all.
Our Community
Community is at the heart of what we do at Next Gen Purpose. As a team, we dedicate our work to providing relevant, meaningful information to help others make healthy choices for themselves, their families and friends, and the planet.
We aim to bring folks working in regenerative food together, to connect, share resources and learn from each other. The world of entrepreneurship can be a lonely one, and we want to change that by encouraging folks to share the wealth.
Whether it comes to local self-sufficiency or larger-scale business-to-business teamwork, NextGen Purpose harnesses the power of community to make better-for-you-food more accessible.
