Winning strategies for saving the world… FOOD as ACTIVISM

Mohan Gurunathan

with Mohan Gurunathan

Introducing, and welcoming back, tUrn Global Advisory Council member & food sustainability expert Mohan Gurunathan!

What we eat either drives or prevents ecological degradation, environmental pollution, climate destabilization, species extinction, our own mental health, etc.. But disinformation around food abounds. Learn about the socialization and lobbying that has kept us from understanding eating as a lever for doing good, including, but not limited to drawing down global warming. Come away with powerful new ideas and mealtime inspirations. Moderated by tUrn alum Abbie Crowley.             

Co-presented with local Climate Reality chapters, Healthy Kids Happy Planet!, and the University of Washington tUrn research crew

THE ANTS & THE GRASSHOPPER

Climate Film Screening: A tUrn special presentation to inspire action with tUrn student interns Hanna Tedla and Emily Cole

Anita Chitaya has a gift; she can help bring abundant food from dead soil, she can make men fight for gender equality, and she can end child hunger in her village. Now, to save her home from extreme weather, she faces her greatest challenge: persuading Americans that climate change is real. Traveling from Malawi to California to the White House, she meets climate skeptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions shaping the US, from the rural-urban divide, to schisms of race, class and gender, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe we live on a different planet from everyone else. It will take all her skill and experience to persuade us that we’re all in this together.
