Katherine Boe

Kate is a nutrition professional who has lived and worked in Shanghai for the past three years. As Program Manager at the Joint US-China Collaboration on Clean Energy (JUCCCE), she has developed an unique food and nutrition education program that will change the way China eats to benefit personal and planetary health. Kate's expertise in nutrition, health, and the modern Chinese consumer combine to form a unique position to understand changing Chinese consumption patterns and behavior habits that will impact global supply chains and the environment.The program utilizes top gamification techniques and multimedia approaches to entice and engage Chinese children in fun, easy, and healthy ways to build lifelong habits that are better for them and for the environment.

She is excited to share with the SXSW audience and community why sustainable eating is central to addressing climate change and modern health crises, and why China is the ideal place for JUCCCE's pilot program.
