Our food system includes production, processing, packaging, distribution and consumption. Our Food program works with powerful coalitions of businesses and governments to target a range of issues within the food supply chain, particularly in agriculture.
The future of Food: exploring the connection between plant-forward diets and human and planetary health at Climate Week NYC
What we eat matters. For our health, for our planet and for our economy.
The world’s food system accounts for roughly a third of global emissions. It’s also responsible for around 30% of global energy consumption. Reducing the emissions intensity of food and food supply chains is critical to achieving our goal of a net zero world by 2050.
From increasing access to healthier and more sustainable foods, to improving production practices and reducing food loss and waste, change is already happening across our food systems. But we need to move further and faster.
We’re proud to welcome back Tilt Collective as our returning Food Program Partner for Climate Week NYC 2026.
