Food Tank Climate Week Event Series 2026

Food Tank's 2026 Climate Week event series activates during New York Climate Week (typically mid-September) at NPR's The Greene Space in Manhattan, bringing together food system innovators, scientists, corporate sustainability leaders, and policy advocates for a week-long program of summits and panel discussions. Co-organized with partner organizations, the series convenes experts from agriculture, food processing, nutrition, and climate science to examine the intersection of food systems and climate mitigation. Key topics include sustainable protein innovation, reducing food waste and supply-chain emissions, advancing regenerative and climate-smart farming practices, improving food equity in disadvantaged communities, and translating food-system climate research into policy and investment. Interactive sessions and networking connect CPG brands, food tech startups, NGOs, and government agencies working to decarbonize food production and consumption while building climate-resilient food systems.
