How Councils Can Lead the Way on Plant Based Eating Following activism and protest by groups such as Extinction Rebellion, many councils in the UK declared a climate emergency and took steps to reduce their environmental footprint. The role of a plant-based food system in helping to reduce carbon emissions, however, typically went unacknowledged.

The Plant-Based Councils (PBC) campaign aims to change that. Recognising the role that councils can play in facilitating and normalising plant-based food, it has successfully secured commitments from 13 councils to pass plant-based motions or policies, with many committing to 100% plant-based catering for all internal meetings and events.

This talk will cover:

• The environmental importance of switching to a plant-based food system

• The strategic decision to focus on councils

• How councils and councillors are approached about the campaign

  You will also learn how you can help the campaign at different levels of involvement, from emailing your local councillor to starting your own PBC chapter.

Award Winning Chocolate That ‘Just Happens To Be Vegan’

Introduction and brief story of how Luisa’s vegan chocolate was founded with a mission to make and create luxury, ethical chocolate without compromise.

Why the shift is not a trend but essential for the planets future

The hidden cost of dairy industrial chocolate

Water-intensive dairy (1 litre of cows milk=1,000+litres of water)

We use the natural synergy between nuts and chocolate -to create creamy textures without any extra added ingredients like soy

A return to the roots of chocolate supporting farmers and the rain forests

Our farmers work with their own small crop farms/plantations to encourage biodiversity, protects the wildlife habitats, and help communities thrive

We pay farmers directly cutting out the middle main and create our chocolate in small batches using traditional stone ground machines (not industrial methods)

We use bio packaging for our bars

Breaking the myth that vegan chocolate is a compromise- better flavour, better texture, better for the planet

Invite our audience to talk our first nut free allergen free chocolate ‘tigernut m*lk’
