If you’ve been meaning to make that move and incorporate more plant foods into your daily routine, we have some pointers to get you there faster.
Even as 2023 saw record-breaking global temperatures, global efforts to tackle the climate crisis have largely failed to acknowledge the need to transition our food system to more sustainable, compassionate and healthy plant based diets. However, there has been some positive progress. This blog recaps some of the year’s significant events, with links to many of our blog posts from 2023.
This Thanksgiving Day, perhaps we should consider just what it is that we are thankful for and how we can make sure that those generations who follow us will be thankful, too.

An insightful guest blog by Cloé Sousa, who interrogates the hypocrisy of the menu at the COP27 Climate Change Conference.
The recent 2022 UN Biodiversity Conference, COP15, came to a close to much fanfare. However, the delegates chose to ignore one of the main causes of biodiversity loss. We cannot continue to ignore the elephant in the room.
As we reflect on the developments and challenges of the past year, one thing is clear: 2022 has been a very significant year for the global plant-based shift.
