ForwardWebinar: A Flexitarian Approach to Sustainable Healthy Diets: How a Flexitarian Diet Leaves Room for Modest Amounts of Animal Products While Balancing the Needs of the Planet
Driven by concerns about health and the environment, many people are turning towards more plant-based eating. The Eat-Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems concluded that adoption of a largely plant-based flexitarian diet is likely to improve the health of billions while helping to avoid environmental degradation of the planet. Such action is also essential to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Climate Agreement.
On Wednesday, May 26, 2021, from 2–3 pm ET, join Christine McCullum-Gómez, PhD, RDN, LD, as she describes a flexitarian approach to sustainable healthy diets, which leaves room for modest amounts of animal products while balancing the needs of the planet.
