The Harvard Food Systems Initiative (HFSI) is an educational and experiential program to inspire elevated thinking and change to shape future food systems leaders for a more sustainable future. For students, with students—led by Harvard University Dining Services in collaboration with Harvard Faculty and practitioners in the field—HFSI will drive knowledge and experience in pursuit of food systems citizenship. Join us for the launch of HFSI with a week-long series of events. Stay connected with us for the year by exploring our website at https://hfsi.harvard.edu/.
The Harvard Food Systems Initiative (HFSI) is proud to present:
Eating for Personal and Planetary Health with
Frank Hu, MD, PhD, Chair, Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
And
Stacy Blondin ’07, PhD,Behavioral Science Associate at the World Resources Institute
Wednesday, October 12th
4:30-5:30pm (ET)
Boylston Hall, Fong Auditorium
The Healthy Eating Plate clearly lays out that at least 75% of our plate should be filled with plants – fruits, vegetables and whole grains – for the sake of our personal and planetary health. Dr. Frank Hu, Chair of the Department of Nutrition at the T. H. Chan School of Public Health, shares what it is about plants that make them sustainable – both the nutrient density that sustains our bodies, but also the environmental practices that are better for the earth. And what about that other 25% of the plate? Plants can sustainably occupy that quadrant too.
Dr. Hu is joined by Dr. Stacy Blondin ‘07, Behavioral Science Associate at the World Resources Institute, who studies behavioral science and the keys to changing the way we think about, approach and present food for a more sustainable plate.
