Rooted in Faith: Action for Food, Health, and Climate Resilience

This event will explore the global risk that climate change poses to nutritious diets and highlight the potential of plant-based and plant-forward diets to improve sustainability, nutrition, and fellowship in contemporary food systems. Exemplifying the concept of “thinking globally, acting locally,” this panel will explore how shifting toward plant-based and plant-forward diets at a community level can help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions while providing more nutrient-dense meals. By integrating perspectives from a variety of faith, cultural, and community backgrounds, panelists will examine how to bridge disparities in access to healthy diets while reducing emissions and safeguarding the natural world through actionable solutions.
