SUMMARY:Midwest Climate Summit
DESCRIPTION:Midwest Climate SummitPast\n\n\n\n\nDon’t miss Sheila Voss\, GFI’s senior vice president of communications\, at the 2025 Midwest Climate Summit as she co-leads a dynamic workshop exploring how alternative proteins can help address the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss—while unlocking new opportunities for farmers\, communities\, and food producers across the Midwest. \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Bluesky\n	                    \n	Share on Bluesky\n\n\n	Share this page on Threads\n	            \n	Share on Threads\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nThe Midwest Climate Summit is a three-day gathering of climate leaders\, researchers\, and professionals focused on expanding knowledge\, accelerating climate action\, and catalyzing new partnerships for an equitable Midwestern response to the climate crisis. With exciting options to join in person and virtually\, this is a summit you won’t want to miss! \n\n\n\nGFI will be leading an in-person workshop\, “Diversifying protein production in the Midwest: Mapping how the Midwest U.S. can sustainably feed more people and usher in the next chapter of food and agriculture.” Via a participatory Midwest mapping exercise\, this workshop will focus on the people and places throughout America’s Heartland that can help lead and benefit from alternative protein innovation and opportunities. What does workshop success look like? Greater understanding of and enthusiasm for protein produced in ways that slash food/ag emissions\, enable healthier lands and waters\, and create thriving regional bioeconomies. \n\n\n\nModerated by GFI’s Sheila Voss\, the conversation will bring together stakeholders from across the food system: \n\n\n\n\nSheila Voss\, Senior Vice President\, Communications\, The Good Food Institute\n\n\n\nRyan Blum\, Founder\, Alt Protein Project at University of Wisconsin–Madison\n\n\n\nDr. Victor Ujor\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Food Science\, University of Wisconsin–Madison\n\n\n\nNicole Atchison\, CEO\, PURIS Holdings\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, we’ll ask: What does it look like for the Midwest to lead in sustainable protein production? How can communities across the region benefit from these shifts? What systems\, policies\, and partnerships are needed to catalyze lasting change? \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent location\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSheila Voss\n\n\n\nSENIOR VICE PRESIDENT\, COMMUNICATIONS\, GFI \n\n\n\nSheila Voss is the senior vice president of communications at The Good Food Institute\, where she leads GFI’s global brand and engagement strategy. With more than two decades of leadership in mission-driven communication\, Sheila helps connect the dots between alternative protein innovation and its benefits for climate\, health\, food security\, and the economy. Prior to GFI\, she held senior communications roles at the American Lung Association\, World Wildlife Fund\, and the American Heart Association. At the intersection of science\, storytelling\, and systems change\, Sheila brings deep expertise in movement-building and strategic advocacy to drive meaningful food system transformation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n										\n						\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													November 12\, 2026\n																\n								Virtual Event\n																			\n				\n				\n					The Science of Alt Protein: Genome-scale modeling of porcine cell metabolism\n				\n				\n							\n				Explore how a GFI-funded genome-scale metabolic model can reveal porcine cell nutrient requirements and inform lower-cost culture media for cultivated…
