Bon Appétit partnered with EcoTrust (www.ecotrust.org) in 2007 to compile the best science to date on the relationship between food and climate change. EcoTrust’s work is predicated on the notion - gaining an ever wider currency - that economic and ecological systems are mutually interdependent. Ecotrust employs a wide range of natural resource, research, business, and analysis services to improve the efficiency of resource management and create strategies for enduring prosperity.
Dr. Astrid Scholz led the compilation of scientific data informing our Low Carbon Diet mandates.
