Carbon Underground President Delivers Keynote for Green Sports Alliance

Organized by the Green Sports Alliance, the Champions of Food Symposium brought together regional professional and collegiate sports teams and venues, concessionaires, business and public leaders, restaurant owners and chefs and athletes to explore how the industry can make plays to advance more sustainable food and healthier communities.

Increasing consumer interest in the origin and environmental impact of the food we consume spurred the important conversation around healthier and more ecologically preferable food across North America. With food so closely linked to athlete performance and the game day experience, the conversation is perceived as ramping up across the sports industry.

Larry Kopald, President and Co-Founder of The Carbon Underground, delivered the keynote speech.

The Symposium was held November 13-4, 2017.
