Food Day in WeHo Part Two
Lunch and Food Policy Panel
Did you know West Hollywood and Los Angeles County have been leaders in sustainable food policy? It’s amazing what municipalities are able to accomplish with the power of collective action. Join us in discussing steps that local governments can take to achieve their target GHG emissions through plant-based food policy, and how our local government here in Los Angeles is leading the charge to do so. Learn how organizations and cities are working together to plant the seeds of a plant-based food system.
Join us for an exciting day of panel discussions, presentations, climate action and lots of FOOD!
