Gratitude for food

FOOD + CLIMATE: HOW TO EAT TO SAVE THE PLANET

When we think about the causes of climate change, fossil fuels are usually top of mind. But as Project Drawdown points out, the impact of our daily meals—from farm to fork—can be just as significant.

Food + Climate explores how the choices we make around food affect the health of our planet. This project invites the community to discover practical, people-friendly food solutions that also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Learn how eating locally, cutting food waste, and embracing more plant-based, responsibly grown options can become powerful actions in the fight against climate change.

WORKSHOP #1: THE BIG PICTURE

During this first workshop, we will explore the relationship between food and the climate and how our individual and collective choices impact our “food” footprint. We will then begin the process of RETHINKing our relationship with food by introducing the TOP food related climate solutions.
