Can Small Businesses Solve Big Problems? Julia Collins, founder and CEO of Planet FWD, is out to solve climate change...with snack food. Her journey is a lesson on the small steps toward big impact.

"Software and snacks seems like a crazy combination," Julia Collins admits.

But in truth, it's just the beginning of a crazy-big idea.

Collins is the founder and CEO of Planet FWD. Its focus on software and snacks can be seen in two ways — the practical, and the philosophical. The practical is straightforward: Planet FWD sells a line of climate-friendly crackers and is developing software to connect farmers and suppliers with food brands.
