The inaugural Plant Futures Symposium underscored the urgency of shifting to plant-based diets for healthier, more equitable, and resilient food systems. Plant Futures is the first program at UC Berkeley to feature in-depth, multidisciplinary conversations exploring the role of plant-based foods as a lever for change, and it provided a unique opportunity for students to connect and interact with prominent influencers, facilitating pathways for future professional engagement.
The Plant Futures Symposium is an innovative student-initiated initiative between UC Berkeley Haas, Public Health, Engineering, Public Policy, and the Berkeley Food Institute that will feature key speakers at the forefront of plant-forward innovation and research.
The market for plant based foods has accelerated in response to climate change, the pandemic, and a variety of public health concerns, creating a unique climate for new academic research and career opportunities that have sparked interest from students, faculty, and professionals across a variety of disciplines.
