- Promotion of participant involvement at Mayor’s Office and industry events

Plant-Powered Carbon Challenge
After buildings and transportation, food is the third largest source of New York City’s overall emissions. Following the success of the Carbon Challenge, Mayor Eric Adams launched a new initiative that seeks to cut down on food-related carbon emissions and foster a more sustainable food system within the city.
La Plant-Powered Carbon Challenge is a voluntary program from the Mayor’s Office of Food Policy. It brings together leaders in private, institutional, and nonprofit sectors who commit to reducing carbon emissions from food purchases by 25% by 2030.
