Creating a greener future, one plate at a time.
Our food system is ripe for change. Eating more plant-based foods is one of the best strategies we have for feeding the growing population while improving our health and protecting the planet.
​
High meat consumption has been associated with poor health and meat production has substantially contributed to climate change, environmental degradation and social injustices. The Plant(e)t Cuisine campaign not only encourages a plant-centred diet but also provides guidance on adopting and thriving on a well-balanced plant-based diet.
A healthy plant-based diet is associated with a myriad of health benefits. Diet can be a powerful tool for not only treating chronic illness but for reducing our impact on the planet.

HOW IT WORKS
The benefits of plant-based diets centred around whole or minimally processed foods are rock solid. This way of eating is more environmentally sustainable than a standard Western diet because it uses much fewer natural resources, resulting in less environmental damage and a smaller carbon footprint. Due to a higher intake of beneficial phytochemicals, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and gut-loving fibre, plant-based eaters are also at reduced risk of many chronic health conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and certain cancers.
