The relationship that modern society has with the consumption of animal products is no longer sustainable for either human or environmental health. A paradigm shift is rapidly sweeping the globe as people awaken to the most straightforward solution to this problem. Whether it is doctors learning to prescribe patients with a whole foods, plant-based diet to prevent or reverse chronic illness, or consumers seeking out plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy products for the well-being of animals and the sustainability of our ecosystem, the answer is simple; the faster we transition towards a plant-based lifestyle, the healthier we become as a civilization.
“Plant Based World Conference & Expo is being launched to serve the singular purpose of bringing this conversation to a mainstream audience”, said Joel Davis, founder and CEO of show organizer JD Events. “All will be welcome to attend, from individuals and medical professionals who are interested in learning more about the plant-based movement to businesses that offer plant-based products and services or are looking to get involved in this fast-growing sector.”
The two-day conference program will offer CME accredited education for healthcare professionals presented by The Plantrician Project. The Project’s co-founder Tom Dunnam expressed, “The leadership of The Plantrician Project has waited for the ideal opportunity to replicate the success of our International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference on the East coast. We’re confident that we’ve found that opportunity in Plant Based World Conference & Expo. As the leader in plant-based nutritional education for the healthcare community, The Plantrician Project looks forward to bringing world-class medical education to PBW. We are excited to work with JD Events and everyone involved to promote PBW and communicate to healthcare professionals and the public the science and hope-filled message about the overwhelming benefits of a plant-based diet on human health.”
A separate business track will showcase educational content for a vast network of retailers, food service providers, entrepreneurs, brand developers and investors. This hybrid event will also uniquely feature a consumer element, opening the doors on the final day and providing access to the expo floor and invaluable education for the public as well. “An event like Plant Based World Conference & Expo is timely and necessary to help foster dialogue and sharing of ideas and expertise that can accelerate the growth of the plant-based food industry”, said Nil Zacharias, co-founder of One Green Planet. “As the largest digital media platform focused on food and sustainability, we are excited to support this initiative and partner with aligned organizations and individuals who are working on solutions to upgrade our broken food system.”
