From Farm to Table to Planet: How Do We Feed the World Without Destroying It?

​Moderator: Jonathan Foley, Ph.D., Executive Director, Project Drawdown

​Panelists include:

• ​Alexandria Coari, Vice President, Capital, Innovation, & Global Initiatives, ReFED

• ​Lauren Gifford, Ph.D., Senior Advisor, Climate Philanthropy and Investing, Project Drawdown

• ​Kelly McNamara, Climate & Nature Director, Food System Innovations

​When we think of the chief causes of climate change, the first thing that often comes to mind is the use of fossil fuels for electricity production, transportation, and industry. But an equally significant, yet far less recognized, contributor to climate change often gets short shrift: the global food system.

​Given that a whopping 22–33% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from the food, agriculture and land use sector, the systems we use to produce food have huge unrealized potential to help halt climate change.

​In this session, panelists will explore the many ways food-related climate solutions can drive progress in the broader global effort to bring climate change to heel. Project Drawdown continues to share the results of cutting-edge research in this space in order to help businesses, impact investors, funders, and other stakeholders identify and deploy the most impactful food, agriculture, and land use solutions.
