Britteny Bryan is an inspiring business personality in New Zealand’s plant-based food industry. She co-founded Berkano Foods, which specialises in plant-based frozen and ready-to-eat meals. She established the company in 2017 with Nicholas Harlow, offering innovative plant-based versions of popular dishes like Thai chicken green curry, butter chicken, rigatoni bolognese, and golden peanut satay tofu. Traditional meat ingredients are replaced with plant-based alternatives.
Britteny and her co-founder were recognised in Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list for the Arts Class of 2020, highlighting their significant impact in the entrepreneurial and arts fields. Their innovative approach to plant-based food manufacturing was crucial to this achievement.
Under Britteny’s leadership, Berkano Foods has expanded into the plant-based meat market. The company plans to launch plant-based beef, lamb, and pork, a pioneering move in New Zealand. This expansion aligns with Berkano Foods’ mission of making plant-based foods more accessible and affordable for everyone. The University of Canterbury’s ThincLab programme supported the company in identifying and filling a gap in the market for plant-based meat alternatives in New Zealand.
Britteny’s work is about business growth and advocating for a healthier and more sustainable way of eating. Her commitment to sustainability and health-conscious food solutions is evident in Berkano Foods’ journey, from manufacturing ready-to-eat meals to entering the alternative meat market. Her efforts align with a growing global trend towards plant-based diets.
