"Our Food System's Impacts on Us and the World"

Marc Anderson (Seminole) studied civil engineering at the University of Michigan and is a professional engineer residing in Oregon. He has worked with Tribal governments since 1997 on water resources and environmental protection programs.

He remembers his grandmother telling him as a child, “You don’t have diabetes... yet.” After connecting with his extended Seminole family in 2009 and discovering the average overall life expectancy of Tribal members was only 60 years, he has been motivated to adopt and promote a plant-based diet, learn about traditional foods, cooking, and gardening, and better understand the connections between food, health, cultural affirmation, sustainability, and climate change.

He has been a volunteer with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine since 2012 and is actively involved in community gardens, seed sharing and promoting food sovereignty.
