Animal-source foods like meat and dairy are essential to global nutrition and sustainable food systems—but they also sit at the center of complex sustainability conversations. This session will highlight how the Protein PACT is uniting the animal protein sector to engage diverse audiences, foster transparency, and build trust in a shared sustainability journey.
Moderator Eric Mittenthal (Meat Institute) will guide panelists from beef, academia, and innovation sectors as they share the meaningful work being done to advance sustainability, their experiences engaging at global forums like COP and Climate Week, and the audiences that have most inspired them.
This session offers a unique look at how collaboration, communication, and commitment through the Protein PACT are shaping the future of responsible animal protein.
