ABOUT NELSON CAMPBELL AND PLANTPURE COMMUNITIES

Nelson Campbell wrote and directed the 2015 documentary film, “PlantPure Nation." Released in theaters in over 100 cities, "PlantPure Nation" shed light on the powerful forces that have helped to suppress the plant-based nutrition message for decades. In 2016, Campbell founded the nonprofit organization PlantPure Communities (PPC), which launched a grassroots network of groups called “Pods'' all over the nation (and even overseas), offering education and support to those on the plant-based path. He also founded the PlantPure, Inc. foods business, which is committed to providing food products to under-resourced communities through non-retail channels at discounted prices.

The award-winning new (2023) film “From Food to Freedom” tells the story of a live-in immersion program in Greensboro, NC involving six participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. While demonstrating through this story the powerful healing effects of plant-based nutrition, the film also explores larger topics related to immunity and the Covid pandemic.

Campbell’s vision as President of PPC includes grassroots strategies for sharing the plant-based nutrition message, and for addressing climate change and other environmental problems through a change in our food choices.
