Course summary
The first installment of our Nurses Drawdown series focuses on the intersection of food and climate. Bad agricultural practices are known to worsen climate change, and this will be one major focus of the seminar. Conversely, we also demonstrate that plant based eating can help stave off chronic disease. This seminar identifies initiatives to move towards more plant based diets and carbon footprint reduction in nutrition services. New York University provides illustrative examples.
What you'll learn
- Discuss 2 ways in which agricultural practices impact climate change.
- Describe the connection between public health and the food system.
- Describe how the institutional adoption of plant-based menus in educational settings can reduce carbon emissions.
