Should UK hospitals go plant-based? 🏥🌱 An independent survey of 2,000 Brits commissioned by Plant-Based Health Professionals UK found that a third of the British public would support a switch to a fully plant-based menu in National Health Service (NHS) hospitals – a move that could save the NHS £74 million a year!

In their current form, our food systems are ill-equipped to sustainably support the growing needs of our planet, while actively driving biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution. We need to reshape our food systems to address these global challenges. We’ll discuss this in a side event during the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) in New York that is starting next week. Join us in-person in New York or virtually! Register here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d8PEdeGe We’re co-organising the side event with the Tzu Chi USA, the World Food Forum, The Urban Garden Initiative, National Young Farmers Coalition, Mercy For Animals, and Act4Food. #HLPF #HLPF2024 #ProVeg #FoodSystems

Not sure which party to vote for in the UK General Election? 🇬🇧🗳️ With the next few years a crucial period for climate action, we’ve taken four key environmental issues and outlined each major political party’s stance according to their manifestos. These are: - Net Zero - Farming + Agriculture - Tackling Sewage Spills in UK Waterways - Protecting our Oceans Though the general consensus across all five parties is that emissions need to be cut, no party yet seems to take seriously the extent of the food system’s contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions (⅓ of global emissions). Tackling emissions from the food system will be essential to preventing further climate change - and the severe impacts on our food security. 🌍 However, there are some great policies from the Green Party of England and Wales who recognise the need to shift away from meat and dairy, while the Liberal Democrats are pledging to invest in alternative proteins and take ‘bold, urgent action’ on the climate crisis. UK citizens can have their say on Thursday July 4th, with polling booths open from 7 am to 10 pm - don’t miss your chance to generate positive change! 💚
