Food shapes our health, our environment, and our future. Our theme for Earth Day 2027 is Food for Our Planet™, calling for a transformation of food systems to create healthier, more sustainable futures for people and the planet. Join us throughout Earth Month, culminating on April 22, 2027, to help build healthier people, healthier soils, and healthier futures.
Explore our work across three interconnected areas of focus: Healthy People, Healthy Soils, and Healthy Futures. Through Food for Our Planet™, we take a systems-based approach to building healthier food systems, connecting human health, thriving ecosystems, and resilient communities. These areas are the foundation of our work, with more to come.
Real stories from around the world, shaping the future of food.

Yes. Food for Our Planet™ is EARTHDAY.ORG’s global theme, building toward Earth Day, April 22, 2027, and all Earth Month. Unlike a single-day event, this theme runs year-round, connecting research, partnerships, and storytelling around food systems to EARTHDAY.ORG’s broader mission.
Food for Our Planet™ is just getting started, with resources, toolkits, and ways to take action rolling out throughout the campaign. For now, the best way to get involved is to sign up for updates and explore our three pillars. More opportunities to act are coming soon.

Earth Day was born on April 22, 1970 — a date deliberately chosen by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson and young activist Denis Hayes to fall between Spring Break and Final Exams, maximizing student participation in what began as a national environmental teach-in. That single day drew 20 million Americans into the streets and sparked the modern environmental movement. Today, Denis Hayes serves as Board Chair Emeritus of EARTHDAY.ORG, the non-profit organization that grew out of that very first Earth Day and now mobilizes one billion people in 193 countries every year.
