  • Summary

  • In this episode of Vedge Your Best, we’re joined by William Smith from Plant-Based Cambridge and Plant-Based Universities. Plant-Based Cambridge is a student-led climate campaign calling for the University of Cambridge to follow its own scientific research and transition to 100% plant-based catering. The Plant-Based Universities project aims to address the climate crisis by urging the world’s leading educational institutions to reject the emissions and injustices caused by animal agriculture. Transitioning to a plant-based food system could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production in high-income countries by 61%, while also freeing up 76% of global farmland for rewilding. The campaign focuses on: - Promoting the benefits of a plant-based diet. - Demonstrating how plant-based catering can be equitable and accessible to all. - Collaborating with universities to implement fair and sustainable food systems. Plant-Based University campaigns are active in nearly 50 UK and international universities, uniting students to demand meaningful climate action from their institutions. In this conversation, William shares the ambitious work of these organizations in promoting plant-based diets and sustainable practices among university communities. From grassroots activism to practical tips for driving meaningful change, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about plant-based advocacy, education, and environmental action. ---In This Episode: 1.
