Join Dr. Peter Andrée as he explores the critical role of philanthropic organizations in advancing sustainability with two leading experts: Beth Hunter, Director at FoodBridge, and Lorne Johnson, Vice President at the IVEY Foundation. Discover how successful philanthropic efforts can be aligned with ecological goals, such as promoting sustainable agriculture in Canada. Our guests explain philanthropy’s “sweet spot” in, as Hunter puts it, being “strategic,” “flexible,” “taking risks,” and moving sustainability experiments “towards scaling.” Along the way, Johnson and Hunter discuss their “theories of change,” including how environmental activists (supported by foundations) interact with corporations and governments to achieve social and environmental change.
