What do you think of when you hear “whole food, plant-based?” Is it a vegan diet? Is it extreme dieting? Does it sound like just another dietary option, like paleo or keto?

Here, Santa Barbara plant-based nutrition educator and food-skills instructor Emma Malina gives us a one-minute primer on whole food plant-based nutrition.

Supporting Our Work - We’re currently an all-volunteer organization and we see incredible room and need to grow over the coming year. We understand that this time has enormous challenges for everyone, so while we’ll be seeking support to help roll our vision forward, we’re also thinking creatively to keep our costs low to efficiently build resources and deliver programming at low to no cost to our community.
