1:00PM-6:00PM.

Join us for an event focused on the impact of food waste, nitrogen overuse, and pesticides on our food systems and our climate. The food and agriculture sector is responsible for one third of global greenhouse gas emissions, drives biodiversity loss, and creates risks to human health. Policies to improve climate outcomes can make farmers more profitable and resilient and foster healthier ecosystems and communities. Learn how NRDC is tackling these critical issues, from cities to farms, alongside leading scientists, chefs, farmers, policymakers, and other partners.
