The World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos continues to highlight the climate crisis and the importance of sustainability across industries. A key focus at this year’s event is the transition to more sustainable food systems. As part of this, veganism and plant-based diets have been spotlighted as critical components in reducing global carbon emissions. Some key discussions are focusing on how shifting dietary habits, including a move toward plant-based foods, can significantly reduce agriculture’s environmental footprint.
Several climate activists and scientists have pushed for greater incentives and policy support for plant-based eating, considering the agricultural sector’s role in emissions and deforestation. There’s likely been talk of how transitioning to vegan food systems can help meet international climate targets, especially given the growing evidence that plant-based diets can help curb both greenhouse gases and resource depletion.
If you’re following the WEF or similar events, there might be a growing recognition of veganism’s role in the larger environmental conversation.
