Food is one of the leading contributors to climate change around the world, yet it is one of the most overlooked issues in environmental conversations. Every local community has its own unique food system challenges, yet food often remains overlooked in environmental decision-making. This is where the power of YOUTH comes in. Whether through education or community projects, MMCI unites youth to raise awareness and take action, using food as a solution to climate change in their local communities.
Food as a Solution to Climate Change
Food and climate change are among the most complex challenges facing the world today. Mindful Meals addresses both by promoting food and climate resilience in local communities through new projects and expanded educational opportunities.
