Heather Mills launches UK ‘vegan northern powerhouse’

‘Plant-based Valley’ could help lead consumers’ transition from ‘cattle culture diet’ Climate activists have welcomed the launch in the Northumberland countryside of a “vegan Silicon Valley”, which is aimed at helping to fight climate change. The 55-acre site, the brainchild of the entrepreneur Heather Mills , will offer manufacturing, storage and business space exclusively to vegan entrepreneurs and plant-based businesses. The valley, 10 miles from Newcastle , has been nicknamed Plant-based Valley. There are hopes for it to be at the centre of a food revolution as the world increasingly turns toward plant-based diets and more people change their eating habits in an attempt to halt the climate emergency. Mills said it would make the region a “world centre for the creation of planet-rescuing ideas” and the “northern powerhouse for the brightest vegan minds”.
