Joel Gfeller
Agritech & Food Science Expert, Advisor
Joel Gfeller has been deeply involved with plant-based food companies for over 17 years. After earning his BSc. Food Science from UBC (Vancouver), Joel was one of the first employees at Garden Protein International (Gardein). It was at Gardein where Joel was part of the small and dedicated team which launched the first High Moisture Extruded (HME) plant based meats to the commercial retail and foodservice market. This start-up grew from 3 full-time employees in 2003 to over 350 by mid 2017. Working in such an environment, Joel gained a broad set of skills required to develop products, design processes and deliver delicious plant-based meat options. Over the years, Joel has logged many thousands of hours on extruders and in food processing to produce a wide range of plant-based meat and seafoods to meet applications from appetizers to entrees.
In addition to working as a Food Scientist, Joel also made time to train as a winemaker and work in some of the top Bio-Dynamic and Organic wineries of Canada. He therefore brings a unique passion and knowledge of what it takes to farm and make food with the best intentions for customers.
Joel now operates Down to Earth Consulting Inc. a company dedicated to developing the future of plant-based meats and ethical foods. His goal is to provide honest food, produced and treated with respect which ultimately results in health of one’s body and of the earth.
