In the fall of 2022, Brigham and Women’s Hospital partnered with Health Care Without Harm, CommonWealth Kitchen, and Aurora Mills Farm to add a new product to their retail menu -- yellow pea falafel. This falafel has since been featured in their retail cafeteria and is soon to be on the patient menu, increasing the number of plant-based food options and reducing food-related greenhouse gas emissions. The development of this falafel has helped to create a market for farmers to grow yellow peas, a regenerative crop that is grown in between other crop cycles to replenish the soil with nutrients.
This webinar is co-hosted by the Center for the Environment and Health at Massachusetts General Hospital and the MGH Institute of Health Professions (IHP) Center for Climate Change, Climate Justice, and Health.
