Optimizing Nourishment for People and Planet: What We Know and How We Know It

“Optimizing Nourishment for People and Planet: What We Know and How We Know It” delved into how optimizing diet quality can add years to lives, and life to years- while preserving our climate, our planet, and biodiversity.

This was the inaugural lecture of the Drs. Manoj and Sunita Jain Endowed Lectureship in Jainism and Integrative Health. We thank Manoj and Sunita Jain for their generosity and commitment to advancing holistic well-being through the principles of Jainism. Their gift to endow this lectureship will engage meaningful cross-disciplinary dialogues and inform and inspire our community for years to come.
