💚SSD and PBC at KI Sustainability Day💚
As sustainability-focused student organizations, we had the honor of participating in KI's Sustainability Day on the 16/04 themed "From Plate to Planet: How Food Shapes Our Health".
Some highlights:
🌱 Members of .ki received the Student Poster Competition prize for a poster introducing the background, goals, theory of change and achievements of Plant-Based Campus.
🌾 PBC held a discussion table with the theme "Feeding Humanity: Industrial Agriculture and the Myth of Optimization", tackling how conventional large-scale farms compare with more ecological farming methods in terms of efficiency, biodiversity impact, and effects on human health.
🐖 SSD held a discussion table with the theme "Micro- and Macroorganisms: The Role of Animal Agriculture in Infectious Disease", shining light on how a plant-based transition would mitigate not only the burden of noncommunicable diseases, but also infections and antimicrobial resistance, of which zoonotic transmission is a major driver.
The event also included insights from the EAT-Lancet Report and studies on Intensive Clinical Nutrition, both of which highlighted the significant health benefits of plant-based whole foods.
Thank you to the KI Council for Environment and Sustainable Development - see you next year!
