Our ambassadors are each unique—chefs, farmers, activists, fashion icons, outdoor enthusiasts and storytellers—but they all have one thing in common.

They believe in the power of regenerative organic agriculture to heal people and the planet. The Rodale Institute Ambassador Network brings together diverse individuals on a journey to fix our broken food system and empowers them to bring these conversations to their industry and followers.

After all, everybody eats, and we all have 3 opportunities a day to make the world a better place.
