Rooted in food. Built for forward motion.
6 Seeds Consulting is a Food Marketing, Communications & Research Agency for the food and agriculture sector. We act as your wayfinder—bringing strategic clarity, consumer insight, and hands-on execution to help brands fix what's broken, fuel what's next, and find their way forward. Headquartered in Toronto with partners worldwide, our mission is to contribute to a more resilient, responsive, and trusted global food system—built on insight, clarity, and action.
Our Story
We believe food is never just food — it's identity, economy, livelihood, and culture. 6 Seeds was built at the intersection of strategy, research, and storytelling, where insight becomes action. We saw the gap between what food brands were saying and what consumers truly needed to hear — and we knew we could help close it. Today, we partner with changemakers across the food system, helping them navigate the pressure and possibility of growth, trust, and transformation.
