Event Description
As you may already know, Beyond Benign offers a valuable resource in partnership with Impossible Foods called Plate to Planet, which explores the intersection of chemistry, sustainability, and the future of food. If you’ve engaged with it—or are interested in applying green chemistry principles in new contexts—this is a great opportunity to go deeper.
The Good Food Institute is launching its first-ever Train-the-Trainer program, designed for high school STEM educators interested in the science and sustainability of next-generation food systems.
Participants will:
🧠 Earn 2.0 graduate credits (at no cost) along with professional development recognition
🔬 Explore the science behind plant-based, fermentation-derived, and cultivated proteins—including products like Impossible Meat
🤝 Connect with experts from both industry and academia
📚 Create hands-on STEM lesson plans and classroom-ready activities
This free, online program runs from July 6–31, 2026, and combines live weekly sessions with flexible, self-paced content. By the end, you’ll walk away with ready-to-use resources and a stronger understanding of food system innovation.
