Meet Elise Ferguson, ECP’s Curriculum Development Manager!
🌱 Elise helps bring food impact education to life through work that connects the issues she cares about most: the environment, social justice, and health. Her favorite ECP video, “Planetary Health,” explores how personal, public, and environmental health are connected through food. Outside of work, she cares for Piper the cat and a community garden plot. 🐈🌿 Her sustainability advice? Give yourself grace, and never stop trying. Next week, Elise will bring her perspective to “Food, Climate & Education: Building Sustainable School & University Food Systems” at Green Mentors’ 10th NYC Green School Conference during Climate Week NYC! She’ll join fellow panelists J. Arbuckle and Tara Stafford Ocansey, with ECP Founder & CEO Lorena Mucke moderating. 📅 September 23, 2026 | 3:30 PM Eastern Time Swipe to get to know Elise and learn more about our Climate Week events at ecprogram.org/nyc.
