Drawing on her research sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation on innovative policies in Brazil and South Korea\, Dr. Gaddis shares how regenerative school meals can advance multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals—especially those related to climate action\, sustainable agriculture\, and educational equity—while fostering healthier communities and ecosystems.

SUMMARY:YBG Monthly Meeting\, Wednesday\, Nov. 19 - Mark Bumford - Speaker
DESCRIPTION:Mark  Bumford  – Director  YSFP\nRegistration here\n\nhttps://www.sustainablefood.yale.edu/our-staff\n\nCultivating Radical Humility: Food Literacy for a Changing World\n\nWhat does it mean to be food literate at a university without a college of agriculture? At the Yale Sustainable Food Program\, we’ve come to define food literacy not just as knowing what to eat or how food systems work\, but as an orientation of radical humility—rooted in the soil\, open to complexity\, and grounded in long-term thinking. This talk reflects on how students grow into food literate leaders in fields from policy to the arts—not through moral imperatives\, but by embracing ambiguity\, seeking root causes\, and co-authoring the future of food with humility\, creativity\, and care.\n\n\nRegistration here

SUMMARY:YBG Wednesday Oct. 15th - Monthly Speaker: Kinari Webb
DESCRIPTION:Health and Harmony \nRegistration link is here \nDr. Kinari Webb (Yale Medicine ’02) will discuss the approach\, mission\, work\, and impact of Health In Harmony (HIH). In 2007\,  Kinari founded HIH in response to the devastation she saw in Indonesia’s rainforests. HIH’s mission is to recognize the inextricable link between human and environmental health\, with a focus on providing healthcare as an incentive to protect natural resources. HIH’s work centers on radically listening to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities\, and responding to the needs they identify. By working with these communities to meet their needs\, logging has dramatically decreased\, and community thriving has increased. With her work featured in various respected media outlets around the globe\, Kinari will conclude the talk by discussing HIH’s current efforts to scale the HIH model globally and how you can get involved. \nAbout Dr. Webb: Dr. Kinari Webb\, MD is the founder of Health In Harmony\, a nonprofit dedicated to reversing deforestation and improving human health through community-driven solutions. A graduate of Yale School of Medicine and Contra Costa Regional Medical Center\, Dr. Webb first traveled to Borneo as a college student\, where she witnessed the devastating impact of deforestation on both the environment and local communities. Learning from local communities that healthcare and other basic needs drove deforestation\, inspired Dr. Webb to found Health In Harmony. Through Health In Harmony\, she has helped establish successful programs in Indonesia\, Madagascar\, and Brazil\, proving that investing in human well-being can lead to thriving ecosystems. Dr. Webb is also the author of Guardians of the Trees: A Journey of Hope Through Healing the Planet\, where she shares her personal journey and the powerful stories of the communities she serves. She has also just released The Art of Radical Listening: Revealing Collective Wisdom for Change which is co-written with Pat Plude and describes the practical skills of listening to collective community wisdom for planetary health.
