Dawn Moncrief
Founder / President
For more than two decades, her work has highlighted the ways in which the consumption and production of animal-sourced foods increase economic disparities and exacerbate global hunger, especially for women and girls. She also draws attention to the devastating impact of animal agriculture as a major driver of natural resource depletion and climate destruction.
Dawn is the board chair of ProVeg International, board chair of Beyond Carnism, and co-chair of the Food and Climate Alliance. She has presented throughout the U.S., U.K., Europe, and Africa. Her publications include contributions in: Food Justice: A Primer; Striking at the Roots; Circles of Compassion; and The Reducetarian Solution.
