For more than forty years, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, PhD., has been at the forefront of nutrition research. His legacy, the China Project, is the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is a professor Emeritus at Cornell University and is most well-known for co-authoring the bestselling book The China Study with his son, Thomas Campbell, M.D. In addition to his long and outstanding career as an author, scientific researcher, and Cornell professor, Dr. Campbell has been featured in several documentary films. He is the founder of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and the online internationally-recognized Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate offered by the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies in partnership with eCornell. He currently serves as the Chairman of the Board.

The documentary film PlantPure Nation tells the story of three people determined to spread the message of the benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet. It follows nutritional scientist and author T. Colin Campbell and his son Nelson Campbell, who directed the film, in their efforts to start healthy eating programs in the United States. After renowned nutritional scientist and bestselling author T. Colin Campbell gives a stirring speech on the floor of the Kentucky House of Representatives, his son, Nelson, and Kentucky State Representative Tom Riner work together to propose a pilot program documenting the health benefits of a plant-based diet. Once the legislation goes into Committee, agribusiness lobbyists kill the plan. The film examines the benefits of a plant-based diet, as well as the obstacles and opposition that the two encounter as they attempt to spread their message.

Undeterred, Nelson decides to try his own pilot project in his hometown of Mebane, North Carolina. Nelson is the Executive Producer, Director and Co-Writer of PlantPure Nation. About 16 years ago, he started a biotech company in North Carolina and subsequently served as its Chairman.
