Food with Benefits

We’re on a mission to influence institutional food environments and the decisions made within them.

Through curated content, spotlighted organizations, and a growing library of educational content, we’re building a centralized hub that connects, supports, and amplifies the many changemakers already doing this work—without duplicating their efforts.

This space serves as a living database of insights, links, and actions that help shift food systems from the inside out.

The “Food with Benefits” solution circles will integrate experts from diverse fields, with specialists across government, industry, public institutions, and chefs, food service professionals, health professionals, researchers, citizens, and the voice of future generations, along with philanthropic organizations, insurance, and food suppliers.

We will invigorate menus and food environment design as the most expeditious and equitable approaches to protect planetary boundaries, human health, and social stability.

These ideas may sound ambitious, yet only through such strategic shifts in food environments will these co-benefits be activated.

For “food is the single strongest lever to optimize human health and environmental sustainability on Earth” (Willett et al., 2019).

Without shifting to more plant-based environments, international climate goals will not be achieved (IPCC 2019; 2021; 2022).
