BRENTWOOD, MO - Continuing the growth of its award-winning Have A Plant^® Movement, Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH) has tapped its largest group of Ambassadors to date, utilizing the influence and expertise of nearly 60 retail registered dietitians, culinary and foodservice professionals, and lifestyle, nutrition, and agriculture leaders to substantially boost fresh produce consumption.

“Our valuable network of all-star Ambassadors leads with experience, taste, and flavor to ensure the Have A Plant Movement continues to have a powerful impact with consumers,” said Wendy Reinhardt Kapsak, MS, RDN, President and Chief Executive Officer of PBH. “As this group of Ambassadors continues to grow, I am confident that we will be able to spread the Have A Plant love far and wide. No other organization is committed to building and nurturing a diverse community of enthusiastic experts who authentically and credibly advocate for enjoying more fruits and vegetables.”

According to a press release, this year’s class of Have A Plant Ambassadors was identified based on a number of factors including their credibility, digital and social media reach, media-savvy smarts, compelling expert content, and genuine passion for promoting fruits and vegetables in their professional work.

After a highly competitive selection process with nearly 200 plant-passionate applicants, the 2022–2023 class has been enlisted for a two-year term and will collaborate with PBH to bring the Have A Plant Movement to life.
