Welcome to the Climate Diet Summit!
Revolutionizing the Dairy Industry
Miyoko Schinner is the fearless CEO/founder of Miyoko’s, a food brand combining culinary traditions with food technology to revolutionize dairy. Through an innovative proprietary process that merges food science with old-world creamery methods, Schinner has successfully scaled the production of fermented cheese and cultured butter made from plants and reached the shelves of more than 10,000 retailers nationwide. She also co founded Rancho Rancho Compasión an animal sanctuary that provides a home to over 70 farm animals. Always on the leading edge, her latest project is partnering with collapsing dairy farmers so they can become a part of the solution for a sustainable future by switching to farming plants.

The Power of Youth to Change the World
Genesis Butler is a 13-year-old activist and the youngest person to give a TEDx talk. Inspired by her great uncle civil rights leader Cesar Chavez, Genesis’ talk ”A 10 Year Old's Vision for Healing the Planet” discussed the negative impact of animal agriculture on the environment. Genesis has worked with dozens of nonprofits to promote a plant based diet and fight climate change with diet change. Genesis is presently an ambassador for Earth Day’s Foodprints for the Future and works with other young activists to create a resounding call to connect plant-based food choices with climate solutions. She is featured in the Disney+ television series Marvel’s Hero Project released in February 2020, which focuses on her activism and her nonprofit Genesis for Animals.
