Podcast appearances and mentions of rachel atcheson

Many municipal buildings, schools, hospitals, restaurants, and workplace cafeterias do not offer plant-based entrees. Making plant-based meals the default or even simply offering a plant-based option can help to reduce food-related emissions. In this episode, hosts Sarah Backer and Linda Breggin explore the rang of actions in municipal climate action plans aimed at increasing the availability of plant-based proteins. Hear from Rachel Atcheson about how New York City is reducing their emissions while saving on food costs, from Angela Baucom on how Austin is promoting food equity, and from Katie Cantrell on the different behavioral science strategies local governments can use to reduce food-related emissions. This podcast was created in conjunction with ELI's Toolkit for Incorporating Plant-Based Protein Measures in Municipal Climate Action Plans.  ★ Support this podcast ★

During a recent event, speakers came together to celebrate food diversity, scientific advances, and community innovation. This week's episode of “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” features two panels from the program moderated by Dani. First, panelists discuss the power and privilege that shape food and agriculture systems, what we can learn from looking back at traditional foodways, and why communities must be engaged in growing their own food. Then, speakers explore the educational approaches that are nurturing the next generation of food systems leaders, the value of bringing culturally relevant ingredients into the classroom, and how programs can connect food, nutrition, and planetary health.  Speakers include Rachel Atcheson, Deputy Director for the New York City Mayor's Office on Food Policy; Sheryll Durrant, Board President of Just Food and the Food and Agriculture Coordinator for the International Rescue Committee; Jessica Harris, an author and journalist, leading expert on foodways of the African Diaspora and Professor Emeritus at Queens College; Tony Hillery, CEO and Founder of Harlem Grown; Michael Kotutwa Johnson, a member of the Hopi Tribe in Northern Arizona, an Indigenous Resilience Specialist at the School of Natural Resources and the Environment and an Associate Faculty at the Indigenous Resilience Center at the University of Arizona; Stephen Ritz, Executive Director of Green Bronx Machine; Karen Washington, a farmer and activist with Rise and Root Farm; and Marion Williams, National Program Director for Wellness in the Schools. This event was held in partnership with the Periodic Table of Food Initiative, Food EDU, The Rockefeller Foundation, the American Heart Association, and the Alliance of Bioversity International - CIAT.  While you're listening, subscribe, rate, and review the show; it would mean the world to us to have your feedback.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing Hive: A rebrand for Impactful Animal Advocacy, published by Hive (formerly Impactful Animal Advocacy) on May 7, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Last month, we made an April Fools Day post about rebranding to Shrimpactful Animal Advocacy. It was a two-sided joke, because we are rebranding. As of today, Impactful Animal Advocacy is now Hive. Our new name won't have the word "impactful" in it - but it's still an important part of our mission: to end factory farming through creating impact-focused communities. We are excited to announce that Impactful Animal Advocacy is now Hive, the same organization with a fresh look and feel. After much thought and consideration, we envision Hive to better reflect who we are - capturing our collaborative spirit and commitment to generating impact within the farmed animal advocacy movement. Why rebrand? This change is, in part, a response to common feedback that the name Impactful Animal Advocacy is too long (10 syllabus!), hard to remember, and difficult to recognize as the acronym IAA. We want to empower animal advocates to do work that's effective and impactful. And if they are, we want them to feel comfortable calling their work impactful animal advocacy without worrying about overstepping into an org's name. Why we chose Hive We want to convey a sense of friendliness and approachability, combined with a rational and results-driven approach. Additionally, we wanted to avoid using an acronym if possible. Name: Hive. The word hive is a place full of activity, and in the context of bees, it's a place where many gather. Hive symbolizes collaboration and coordination, while still bearing a subtle animal element. Logo: Hexagon with 3 typing indicator dots. The hexagon is a reference to bee hives. The three typing indicator dots are common on digital platforms, and help explain that we are a largely online community that thrives on communication. Colors: Deep and light orange gradient. We think these warmer colors will help establish the brand as a place for fresh ideas and energy. The fluid nature of the gradient represents the diversity of viewpoints and collaborative nature of our community. How this change affects our community or programs You will see that our name, logo, and website will be changed. Besides that, our programs (Slack, newsletter, etc) will run as usual. Other changes that you may see, such as Community Calls, are not related to the rebrand and are instead part of our continuous improvements. We thank many people and organizations: Vegan Hacktivists for their initial logo design and brand kit - it helped us get started quickly and we are thankful this service helps other orgs get off the ground also. Our trusted advisors and mentors have been critical in supporting us through all the organizational growth we experienced in 2023. Thank you to Cameron King, David Meyer and Tracy Spencer, Rockwell Schwarz, Aaron Boddy, Nicoll Peracha, Jay Barrett, Rachel Atcheson, Jacob Eliosoff, Monica Chen, David Nash, Steven Rouk, Wanyi Zeng, David Coman-Hidy, Tania Luna, Alyssa Greene-Crow, Nicole Rawling and Ana Bradley. You have all been so helpful and we appreciate your time. Our funders and donors who have helped not just with funding but with valuable advice that helped us create and follow a focused and solid strategy, including Open Philanthropy, Lush, Veg Trust, Craigslist Charitable Fund, Humane America Animal Foundation, and all the individual donors who believed in us and supported us so early in our journey. James and Amy Odene from User-Friendly who helped us come up with a new name and design the Hive logo and website. You have been incredibly helpful and patient in this process. We love the end product! All of our loyal Slack members - for being the impactful and helpful advocates that you are! We are...

While announcing the expansion of a healthy eating initiative, Mayor Eric Adams said Monday he would lead the way by spending no more than $10 a day to eat healthily. "In a few weeks, I'm going to have Rachel (Atcheson) put through a program where I'm going to live off of $10 a day by eating a healthy, plant-based diet," said Adams from Kings County Hospital. The hospital along with others within the NYC Health and Hospitals System is adding additional Plant-Based Lifestyle Medicine clinics that will offer healthy cooking classes. While all that sounds amazing, I believe the timing of all of this couldn't be more off. The very last things Americans want right now after more than 2 years of a pandemic is being told what to do or being pushed to do something. NYC at the moment is a crime ridden shit hole and there is a war on law enforcement underway by criminals. Mr. Mayor do the job you were elected to do and clean up NYC first before you advise others of what to eat. As far as I'm concerned when you are running for an elected seat in a county, city, or national election that position is bigger than you. You have an obligation to your constituents and citizens who put the trust in you to vote for you. This is my biggest pet peeve, potential candidates and even so called local political consultants who make it all about themselves. It's not about you.
