Cooking for the Climate is an incredible module combining cooking skills and lifestyle medicine teaching to learn both the theory and practice of plant-based nutrition for personal, patients’ and planetary health.

Unhealthy diets are a leading cause of chronic illness, contributing to 20% of deaths. In addition, our food system is a leading contributor to the climate and ecological crises. A transition to a healthy plant-based diet in line with the Eat-Lancet Planetary Health Plate has the potential to not only reduce the burden of chronic illness but also keep our food system within planetary boundaries.

You will learn the principles of a sustainable plant-based diet and it’s potential to positively impact global and personal health. The course will discuss common controversies and concerns, whilst supporting participants to learn how to cook simple, affordable, accessible and delicious food. This will provide students with the confidence to incorporate a plant-based diet into their personal and clinical practice.
