Anneke Hobson, MA, MPH, RD

Anneke Hobson is the founder and director of Dietitians for Climate Action, a non-profit organization working to integrate climate change mitigation with dietetic practice. She is a co-author of the Board of Health report Diets for a Cool Planet: Healthy, sustainable diets for Toronto. She started Dietitians for Climate Action (previously known as Drawdown Dietetics) after reading many calls to action for dietitians to take leadership on climate change, but not seeing enough action for the scale of the problem. She also runs a private practice as The Kiwi RD, where she specializes in feeding babies and kids, nutrition in pregnancy, and plant-rich diets. She became a dietitian in 2017, and worked in public health before opening her practice in 2022.
