About
In the fall of 2021, our founders were connected with the Plant Futures Initiative during a class taught by Professor Saha, EXPOS 20—Animals in Politics. Plant Futures Initiative is a social venture committed to accelerating the transition to a plant-centric world for planetary, human and animal well being by equipping and empowering the next generation of food system leaders with the necessary education, experience and network to become change makers. Upon speaking with the founder of PFI, we decided to start a chapter at Harvard, becoming one of the first chapters of the organization.
