Planetary Health Menus

The climate crisis is putting our food and health systems at risk. At the same time, those same systems are enormous contributors to the problem. Nourish sees a tremendous opportunity for action and hope at this nexus. 

Nourish accompanies health care institutions to shift their menus and purchasing to food that is better for both people and the planet, providing them with tested tools for innovation and action.

Your health care organization can become a member of the Planetary Health Menus (PHM) community of practice today and receive:

• Access to the Coolfood Pledge which includes a carbon calculation for your food purchases, a playbook of resources to make changes, and a feature on the Coolfood and Nourish websites

• Invitation to exclusive virtual meetups on a variety of relevant topics like food waste reduction, plant-forward menus, and culturally relevant ingredients

• Peer-to-peer networking as you navigate the road to more climate-friendly operations

• Opportunities to collaborate on new resources, learning opportunities, and research

• Support to reach your sustainability goals and the chance to be part of growing global action

• Enhanced reputation as a leader in the movement to reduce the climate impact of food

• Access to tested resources and the opportunity to co-create new ones

Nourish’s PHM program launched in the spring of 2023. Watch the recording of the Public Launch which features a Montreal-based Food and Nutrition Coordinator, a health care leader from New York City, and an American Food and Climate Strategy leader, describing their path to sustainability in menus.
