Our food choices matter beyond our health and have a lasting impact on the world at large. The 2015 Dietary Guidelines Scientific Committee Report noted that “Consistent evidence indicates that, in general, a dietary pattern that is higher in plant‐based foods…is more health promoting and is associated with lesser environmental impact (GHG emissions and energy, land, and water use) than is the current average U.S. diet.” Sustainable diets can improve the health of people and our environment.

The live version of this webinar was presented on Wednesday, January 24, 2018, from 2-3 p.m. ET, by Danielle Nierenberg, founder of FoodTank, and Chris Vogliano, MS, RD. This recorded version is approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
