In this panel, we will rethink how we communicate, teach, and inspire plant-forward dietary change. Together we will explore how food and climate literacy can empower individuals and communities to adopt sustainable diets, support the environment, and improve health outcomes. Learn practical tools to overcome obstacles, influence behaviours, and promote healthy, plant-forward eating for all.

Shifting toward more plant-forward eating is important for human and planetary health. This panel explores practical ways plant-forward policies and practices can be designed to respect cultural foodways, while highlighting the many plant-based ingredients, dishes, and culinary traditions already present across global cuisines. Panelists will discuss how plant-forward strategies can be adapted to support cultural inclusion, flavour, and familiarity.
Humans are facing compounding and interconnected health, environment, and equity crises. The best lever to improve human, animal, and planetary health is sustainable food. Come discuss how shifting food environments opens proven strategies for reducing global warming while enhancing health and well-being.
Human health is deeply connected to food, in obvious and not-so-obvious ways. Learn about research that connects the dots between food, sustainability, and health.
Sustainable diets have the potential to change the world – but how do we make them a reality? Join this webinar to discuss public engagement, education, narrative-shifting, and other strategies to support communities in pursuing healthy and just food.
Harnessing the power of good food for the planet
Our food systems have major impacts on the environment. Luckily, researchers are studying various strategies to minimize – or even reverse – these impacts. Hear from the researchers themselves as they explain how these strategies fit into a larger vision for sustainable diets globally.
With authors from the “Framing and Vision” and “Calls to Action” sections of the Handbook, and editors Kathleen Kevany and Paolo Prosperi, we will dive into foundational questions around sustainable diets: How can they uphold the human right to food? How can they address systemic racism? Where do they fit in global governance? Hear from researchers who study these questions that are key to envisioning sustainable and just food systems.
