Menu for Change
Global LIVE event: Thursday 16 October 2025
Whether you joined us live or plan to catch up later, we’re grateful for your interest in our event Menu For Change. This was an event where educators, youth, and sustainability leaders came together to explore how food systems can drive positive change.

Ellen Cecilie Wright from EAT opened with a powerful introduction to planetary boundaries, healthy diets, and sustainable food systems models.
Isaiah Hernandez (@queerbrownvegan) shared how he reconnects with food systems in everyday life — through foraging, sustainability apps, and intersectional practices that nurture both people and the planet.
