Animal-source foods like meat and dairy play a vital role in nutrition and sustainable food systems—and they're also central to global environmental discussions. This session explores how the Protein PACT is bringing the animal protein sector together to build trust, foster transparency, and engage diverse audiences.
In a panel moderated by Eric Mittenthal (Meat Institute), leaders from pork, beef, academia, and innovation will share their sustainability work and experiences at global forums like COP and Climate Week. Attendees will then join small-group discussions using a “New, Knew, Know, Now” framework to reflect and apply insights.
This session offers a unique look at how collaboration, communication, and commitment through the Protein PACT are shaping the future of responsible animal protein.
