WHY

The event aims to shed light on why food should be a critical part of climate change solutions.

When it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, not all foods are created equal. Some foods, especially animal products, have a much larger climate footprint than others—but diets in the developed world are often overlooked in climate action conversations.
