A number of members of the Food and Climate Alliance (FCA) have participated in the Talanoa Dialogue process, using the opportunity to highlight the urgent need for a transition away from dietary patterns high in animal-based foods and toward more plant-centric diets as a critical climate change solution. Below are the written submissions by FCA member groups, followed by those of other organizations who have included the same topic as part of their Talanoa contributions.
