Abstract
We consider scientific knowledge regarding the widespread impact of food choices on planetary health including thier direct connection to deforestation, water pollution and climate change. We focus on how providing food literacy opportunities for student and communities have proven to be effective in inspiring environmentally positive dietary changes and how to implement these programs in schools and communities near you. These programs directly positively impact the environmental struggles we face. Our work enables insight into the motivators for change and perceived barriers to change among different age groups. The session offers fresh and proven ideas of how to be a part of building a just and sustainable food system!
