Can Vegan Pioneer Miyoko Schinner Shake Up the Food System with UC Berkeley Plant-Based Course?

Vegan entrepreneur Miyoko Schinner is teaching a plant-based course at the University of California, aiming to transform the food system. This course covers various aspects of the food system, including climate, health, animal welfare, and innovation. The program has gained popularity among students from different backgrounds and has partnerships with various organizations and brands in the plant-based industry.

Schinner believes that the future of the plant-based sector lies in changing food culture rather than focusing solely on product sales. She emphasizes the importance of promoting a plant-rich diet and avoiding repeating past mistakes of the food system, such as prioritizing profits over feeding people. Despite challenges and potential pushback from the current administration, Schinner remains optimistic about the potential growth and impact of the plant-based industry, especially with initiatives like the new plant-based course at the University of California.
