Her first book is about the cultural evolution of veganism from a niche subculture into a mainstream movement challenging the food system. Currently, Nina is a Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Berkeley Haas’ Sustainable Food Initiative where she is co-founder of the Plant Futures Symposium and Challenge Lab.
