The Planet is What You Eat – The Environmental Impact of Meat Industry with Isaac Emery from Good Food Institute
Does a one dollar fast-food hamburger really cost a dollar? Our food choices impact everything, from our personal wellbeing to global poverty. Join us for a thought provoking talk with Dr. Isaac Emery from Good Food Institute (GFI) about the planetary consequences of our factory-farmed meat industry. We will discuss the environmental impact of mass-produced meat, why a plant-based diet is healthier for the planet and you, and how you can make better choices when you purchase meat.
