The editorial is by&nbsp;  and appears on corporateknights.com.  “Now in its 23rd year, the Best 50 helps track how Canadian businesses are meeting the low-carbon and green-transition challenge – as well as where they’re getting stuck in the process…  The companies that made the Best 50 are mostly corporations with more than $1 billion in annual revenues, as well as Crown corporations, large co-ops and members of the S&amp;P/TSX Renewable Energy and Clean Technology Index. What sets them apart is their commitment to doing business differently – they’re companies that derive significant revenue from greener products and services, invest in increasingly sustainable projects, and prioritize equity in their operations.  Crucially, the companies’ average sustainable investment (as a percentage of total investment) hit 58.9% this year, up 9% over last year’s 49.7% – that’s compared to just 8.4% for the average large Canadian corporation.”  End quotes.

However, the overall sector’s potential for growth remains robust… The plant-based food market value is currently at $46.7 billion and could expand to $96.6 billion by 2033. That’s a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%... 1. Laird Superfood&nbsp;(NYSEAMERICAN:) Specializes in providing plant-based coffee creamers, hydration supplements and other foods.

However,&nbsp;&nbsp;prove that the company is back on the upswing…&nbsp; The company’s 22% net sales growth during the first quarter was among the top results for any company in the food industry. The company saw at least a 40% gross margin. While the company still operates at a net loss, its balance sheet remains strong with no debt. The company raised its outlook for net sales thanks to the positive Q1 results. Laird Superfood stock is affordable for investors looking to enter the vegan-friendly and plant-based food stocks segment. Laird Superfood has many potential growth opportunities on the horizon… It recently received a $32 million influx of funding from&nbsp;WeWork.
