Introducing, and welcoming back, tUrn Global Advisory Council member & food sustainability expert Mohan Gurunathan!

What we eat either drives or prevents ecological degradation, environmental pollution, climate destabilization, species extinction, our own mental health, etc.. But disinformation around food abounds. Learn about the socialization and lobbying that has kept us from understanding eating as a lever for doing good, including, but not limited to drawing down global warming. Come away with powerful new ideas and mealtime inspirations. Moderated by tUrn alum Abbie Crowley.             

Co-presented with local Climate Reality chapters, Healthy Kids Happy Planet!, and the University of Washington tUrn research crew
