🌱 Empowering students to create a plant-centric future for the planet, people, & animals.
About us
Plant Futures, a project of Ideagarden Institute, is working to accelerate the transition to a plant-centric food system by ensuring students become ethical leaders, systems thinkers, and effective advocates for a plant-centric future. Plants are at the intersection of at least a dozen problems and opportunities in our food system: climate change, public health, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, food access, diversity and inclusion, soil health, law and policy, technology, food justice, animal welfare, and antibiotic resistance. Driving the rapid emergence of a plant-centric food system is a critical lever of change to creatively address all of these issues. At Plant Futures we are building a global movement and proactively facilitating a time critical food system transformation for planetary sustainability and ultimately the survival humanity. We do so through innovative programming and community-cultivation, including our annual Symposium, practical curriculum, and a growing dynamic ecosystem of students, faculty, and professional partners. Our program is creating a diverse, multidisciplinary talent pipeline for the global plant-rich food & ag sector by equipping students with the necessary knowledge, tools and networks to make an impact. Plant Futures is a 501(c)3 nonprofit headquartered in Berkley, CA; with nearly 30 student-led chapters around the world. Find us online at plantfuturesinitiative.org

We are so grateful for your leadership and mentorship, Miyoko Schinner! It's going to be an epic semester!
A fighter for food justice, animals, and the planet. Yes, vegan. | Forbes 50 Over 50, Food & Wine Gamechanger
I'm beyond thrilled to share that I am starting a new position as Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business this week! It's beyond anything I ever thought would happen, and I approach my first class on Thursday with a mixture of exctitement and trepitude. It's certainly not anything I would have imagined would come to me a year, 5 years, 10 years ago. I'll be co-instructing this semester in the Plant Futures Challenge Lab along with Brittany Sartor, leading both undergrads and grad students to envision the possibility of a new, compassionate food system for the future. Over the past couple of years, I've taken a deep dive into food systems and realized that I had understood very little, that there is so much to learn, explore, think about in a deeper way. I love to engage in deeper discussions (never been one for small talk), and look very much forward to engaging with young people as they think about the future they want to create. Yes, I'm nervous, hoping that my first talk goes okay, and am also so excited to bring on amazing speakers to the semester! Dr. Amie Breeze H.
