Food Tank, in partnership with Danone Institute North America, will host the virtual event, One Planet. One Health, to discuss solutions to build more sustainable local food systems. The free event will take place at 12:00PM EST on May 6, 2021.

Moderated by Food Tank President Danielle Nierenberg, conversations will focus on challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ways that communities can enhance the sustainability of food systems in a way that advances human nutrition and planetary health.
