For the planet
We are facing climate and ecological breakdown and animal agriculture is a leading cause. Farming is the problem AND the solution. Vegan farming preserves biodiversity and habitats, lowers greenhouse gas emissions and uses less land and resources
For health
There is now ample evidence that a vegan diet is healthy for all stages of life. A rich and varied plant-based diet is proven to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes, as well as lowering blood pressure, cholesterol and promoting a healthy body weight.
For animals
Most of the 1.2 billion land animals and 1 billion fish killed for food each year in the UK are raised on cramped and dirty factory farms. These sentient beings suffer inhuman conditions and are denied the ability to act out their natural behaviours and enjoy their complex social lives. The way society views other animals is shifting and the food system is changing to reflect this.
For people
The current food system is broken. Despite a food surplus and increasing yields, 4.7 million people go hungry in the UK. We can create a more equitable, sustainable system, where the UK has food sovereignty and is not reliant on cheap imports.
