Bio:

Jennifer Bushman is a sustainable seafood expert, communicator, and strategist who has been championing ethical aquaculture for more than two decades. She has been on a mission to transform the food system, preserve the oceans, nourish the world’s ever-growing population, and offset carbon emissions. With those goals in mind, she launched the Sea Pantry initiative, which educates consumers on how to make responsible seafood choices every day. Food leaders such as the James Beard Foundation and the International Association of Culinary Professionals have recognized Jennifer’s culinary contributions as groundbreaking in terms of palate experience, health benefits, and climate impact.

Because Jennifer believes that policy changemaking is as important as what we put on our plates, she sits on the boards of numerous ocean advocacy organizations, among which is Alexandra Cousteau’s Oceans 2050 and the Marine Mammal Center.

[Opening Activity] Food Flicks: Documentaries to Get You Ready for Summit

Before the Summit officially kicks off, we’ll be screening a pair of documentaries that will inspire you while helping get you “conference-ready.” Farming While Black is a feature film about the rising generation of young black farmers, while Hope in the Water explores the work of community seafood programs, fishers, and aqua farmers who are innovating on harvesting and distribution models to feed our growing planet while saving our oceans. Join us after each screening for a discussion with documentary producers and storytellers.
