Eat for Impact is about connecting over great food to drive real impact for our planet.

What we eat matters.

That’s why we work with cities to introduce more local food choices where plants are the star: Because food grown from the ground has a much lower environmental impact than most traditional animal-based ingredients.

When we make eating plant-rich meals easy and enjoyable, we…

  • Reduce emissions that drive climate breakdown

  • Protect water from overuse and pollution

  • Preserve land and wildlife habitats

  • Support biodiversity and protect ecosystems

  • Improve air quality by cutting methane

  • Create a more sustainable food system for future generations

It’s a simple - and delicious - way to make a big difference.
