The Plant-Based NGO Network is a network of dozens of nonprofits working to shift to a more sustainable food system. Many of these organizations provide services and programs that can help sustainability staff, faculty and students succeed in campus sustainability initiatives, but it can be difficult to know where to start. This webinar will provide an introduction to nonprofit resources—many of them free—that have been created to support higher education food system change. These include everything from training for chefs, recipe and menu development, consultation on the use of defaults and nudges, support with food procurement and vendor contracts, and programs to engage student leaders in sustainable food projects on campus. This Fall, the Better Food Foundation will publish a Plant-Based NGO Resource Guide for Higher Education. The webinar will introduce participants to this guide, feature several members of our network speaking about the resources and services they offer, and give an opportunity for Q&A about how university sustainability leaders can find solutions to challenges they face when trying to offer more sustainable dining.
