Our Mission

Plant Futures, a project of the nonprofit Ideagarden, is a social venture committed to accelerating the transition to a plant-centric world for planetary, human and animal well being by equipping and empowering the next generation of food system leaders with the necessary education, experience and network to become change makers.

​

Our Why

Our world is facing urgent challenges. The climate is warming at an alarming rate, global hunger is on the rise, and countless animals suffer needlessly. But we believe that there's one solution that can address these pressing issues: fixing our broken $8T food system. At Plant Futures, we're committed to doing so by accelerating the transition to a plant-centric future.

​

Why Plants?

Imagine a future where our food system is centered around plants. It's not only the most efficient and effective way to meet our current and future needs but also holds the key to solving the climate crisis, fostering health, and ending animal suffering.

​

Why Students?

We believe in the power of the next generation to drive change. That's why we're actively building a global network of diverse college and graduate students committed to action.

Equipped with multidisciplinary education, professional expertise, and key relationships, they are the catalysts for this critical transition.
