Event Description

Producing livestock is the single largest driver of deforestation and habitat loss worldwide. To conserve the world’s animals, plants and places they call home, people should eat less meat. This may seem like a tall order, but increasing our plant-based consumption is realistic if we can offer delicious, convenient, plant-based foods that people want to eat. Learn how at today’s presentation.

  • Wednesday, April 12
  • 10 – 11 am, Kapnick Hall in Naples Botanical Garden
  • $15 Members / $20 Non-Members

Dr. Brian Machovina, Postdoctoral Fellow & Lecturer, Department of Earth & Environment and International Center for Tropical Botany, FIU School of Environment, Arts and Society.
