PROMOTING ACTION AND POLICY FOR A HEALTHIER DIET AND PLANET

Our food affects our environment and contributes more than a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions destabilizing the planet. The choices we make right now are critical to our health and wellbeing, our ability to continue to enjoy nourishing and diverse foods, and the future of life on earth.

Acterra’s programs promote actions and policies that are healthy for both people and the planet. Acterra hosts a variety of educational events on food sustainability, food justice, dietary choices, soil health, and representation with food. We also offer cooking demonstrations, Q&A opportunities with leaders in this field, dietary challenges, documentary screenings, and community feeding events.
