Plant Powered Metro New York

Plant Powered Metro New York (PPMNY) empowers our diverse local communities to find better health and overcome chronic disease with whole food, plant-based nutrition. Ample evidence shows that plant-powered eating can prevent and even reverse many of today’s common chronic health issues. Founded in March 2019, PPMNY offers evidence-based education, resources, and support to inspire meaningful change and improve health throughout the New York metropolitan area.

Mobilizing a community-driven movement, PPMNY stewards a grassroots network comprised of 100+ educators and volunteers hailing from NYC and its surrounding counties who work to:

• Raise awareness about the dramatic health benefits of eating a nutrient-rich diet of whole plant foods.
• Educate diverse populations about the power and practice of whole food, plant-based nutrition, with a special focus on communities that experience health disparities, older adults, and healthcare system patients and employees.
• Empower diverse residents to substantially improve their health using food as medicine.
• Provide ongoing peer-to-peer support toward behavior change and maintenance.
