Food, Health & Nutrition Systems
Examining what we eat, how it affects human health and ecosystems, and how food systems are being reimagined — from alternative proteins to gut health to public nutrition policy.

Overview
Overview
With just 1.1°C of warming, 3.3–3.6 billion people already live in contexts highly vulnerable to climate impacts (IPCC AR6). In the next decade alone, climate change will drive an estimated 32–132 million more people into extreme poverty. Mortality from floods, droughts, and storms in highly vulnerable nations is 15 times greater than in countries with very low vulnerability. Projected flood damages could increase 2.5–3.9 times at 3°C warming compared to 1.5°C.

We're in early stages — exploring locations, connecting with people on the ground, and shaping what these learning journeys could look like. If this theme resonates with you, let us know. We'll reach out when we're planning a trip.
