Food And Climate Action – Philanthropic Strategies For Systems Transformation

About

As one of the biggest drivers of the climate crisis, the global food system needs profound—and swift—transformation, yet still too few resources, and too little focus, turn to food. In this lively conversation, Anna Lappé, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, will bring together four inspiring philanthropic leaders who are charting paths to support regenerative, agroecological food systems and challenge the harms of industrial, fossil-fuel-based agriculture. The conversation will explore creative approaches to community-centred and impactful philanthropic practice to address the food-climate linkages. The panel will be followed by an optional reception with Global Alliance members and partners. Space is extremely limited. Please RSVP as soon as possible.
