Whole Truth

Campbell, Nelson: - On the heels of writing and directing the 2015 documentary film PlantPure Nation, Nelson Campbell founded the nonprofit PlantPure Communities (PPC) in early 2016. Released in theaters in over one-hundred cities, the PlantPure Nation film (now on Amazon Prime and Apple TV) highlights the dramatic healing power of a plant-based diet and examines the political and economic factors that have suppressed information about these healing benefits, while making connections to public policy, medical practice, food deserts, and farming. In addition to his work in the nonprofit sector, Nelson founded the PlantPure foods and education business. PlantPure has been working on a strategy in western North Carolina to partner with local communities to share the healing benefits of plant-based nutrition. This strategy also includes a commitment to waive 100 percent of its profit margin on sales of certain of its products in under-resourced communities.

Most recently, Nelson has launched a Substack publication at NelsonCampbell.com, where he writes about many of the same issues shares in The Whole Truth. Finally, Nelson has also had extensive experience in public speaking, mostly focused on issues surrounding plant-based nutrition, but also touching on public policy, economics, and social concerns. Prior to his involvement with PlantPure Nation, Nelson worked for twenty-five years as a business entrepreneur. He graduated from Cornell University with a bachelor's degree in Political Science and a master's degree in Economics.
