About Nelson 

Founder of PlantPure Communities
President of PlantPure Communities

On the heels of writing and directing the 2015 documentary film PlantPure Nation, Nelson Campbell founded the nonprofit organization PlantPure Communities (PPC) in early 2016. Released in theaters in over 100 cities, the PlantPure Nation film (now on YouTube and Amazon Prime) examines the political and economic factors that suppress information about the benefits of plant-based nutrition, and makes connections to public policy, medical practice, food deserts, and farming.

As the President of PPC, Nelson continues to drive the strategic direction of the organization. His vision includes grassroots strategies for empowering people in local communities to share the plant-based nutrition message, including in our many under-resourced communities, and for addressing climate change and other environmental problems through a change in our food choices.

Nelson also founded the PlantPure, Inc. foods business. This business supports PPC’s strategies with its commitment to provide food products into under-resourced communities through non-retail channels at discounted prices.

Prior to his involvement with PlantPure Nation, Nelson worked for 25 years as a socially conscious business entrepreneur. He graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science, and a Master’s Degree in Economics.

About Plant Pure 

In 2015, Nelson Campbell released the hit documentary film, PlantPure Nation in over 100 theatres. It's now available through streaming services including Amazon Prime, iTunes and YouTube. The film was a hit, but PlantPure was just getting started. With the goal to help more people experience the benefits of a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, we launched a line of food products and other educational programming.

"We must think big if we’re going to heal our world."

The PP team recognises that a plant-based world must include everyone. For too long, information on nutrition and health has bypassed the very communities where our epidemic of chronic disease is most severe. To make matters worse, these communities often lack access to affordable healthy foods.

Plant Pure is committed to waiving profits from their meal starter products to make them as affordable as possible for people struggling with food insecurity and/or lacking access to affordable healthy food options. They testing strategies to reach these folks, and once they find one or more that work, they will expand this effort nationwide.

Their goal is to build a plant-based world as quickly as possible, leaving no one behind.

HOW CAN WE SUPPORT? Whenever we sit down to a delicious meal prepared from one of their meal starters, we can know that we are healing not only ourselves but also helping to bring healing to where it’s needed most.
