Event Description
For the first time, we are experiencing a global pandemic like never before. The world already feels like a chaotic place. But remember that little thing called the climate crisis? Yeah, it’s not going away. One thing this situation is teaching us is that we DO have the power and capability to make drastic and rapid changes to solve global problems.
We can claim our power as individuals and start making a HUGE difference TODAY.
Our food and agriculture system is one of the biggest drivers of the climate emergency, species extinction, environmental degradation, and the spread of disease.
Did you know that diet change is one of the most powerful ways to stop climate change?
We need both institutional and individual change immediately, but too few people and organizations are talking about the power we as individuals have every single day.
Join us today to learn how we can create a JUST food system that will bring us the SUSTAINABLE future we all want.
This is an all-hands-on-deck crisis, and this is a solution that demands immediate attention—we can't have climate justice without food justice.
