On Friday, November 1, 2024, more than 250 Stanford researchers, experts, and guests passionate about food, health, and sustainability gathered at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center at Stanford University for the 2024 Stanford Food Summit. The daylong, in-person conference brought together leaders in the field to share the latest innovations and research on plant-based solutions to major public health and environmental challenges.

The event featured more than 30 speakers who explored a wide range of topics, including food equity, diet-related diseases, and the role of plant-based solutions in mitigating global warming.

The 2024 Stanford Food Summit is hosted by the Plant-Based Diet Initiative (PBDI), a research unit of Stanford Medicine made possible through generous funding by Beyond Meat.
