Shaping the Future of Food

April 22nd, 2026

Shaping the Future of Food is a short and engaging virtual presentation introducing IATP's work, with the opportunity to ask questions and connect with others in the sustainable food movement. In celebration of Earth Day 2026, hear from IATP Executive Director Sophia Murphy about how we are tackling the question of what food and farm systems will look like in 2040 and beyond.
