🌎 Power of the Plate 2027

May 13–16, 2027 · Los Angeles, California

Kitchen Monk™ independently encourages patients, families, clinicians, students, educators, food-system leaders, and changemakers to explore The Plantrician Project’s Power of the Plate conference. The Plantrician Project describes it as an evidence-first gathering connecting nutrition with human health, healthcare systems, food systems, sustainability, community, and planetary health.

Nathanael’s reason for sharing it: “I came to San Diego expecting a conference. I left feeling like family.”

Why Kitchen Monk points people there

  • Evidence-based nutrition education
  • Practical ideas that can travel from conference rooms into kitchens and communities
  • Interdisciplinary learning
  • Food-system and planetary-health perspectives
  • Community and connection
  • Opportunities for clinicians and non-clinicians to learn together
