Hidden deep in the UK government's 70-page "Farming Roadmap 2050" is a list of actions that could be taken to reduce emissions from farming. It includes ""exploring opportunities to diversify into lower emission farming systems where appropriate, for example growing oilseeds and pulses as demand for plant-based foods increases." 🌱

While the roadmap overall is supportive of animal agriculture and ignores calls to reduce the number of cows and sheep to hit climate targets, this sentence suggests the possibility of government supporting farmers to move away from using animals to help cut emissions. It's a start! 👏🏼

The Ten Point Plan for Plant-Rich Diets which we support calls for more support for farmers growing healthy and sustainable plant-based food for people. Contact your MP to seek their support https://www.vegansociety.com/news/blog/our-lobby-day-2026

“Everyone knows the importance of having more plants in your diet – from a health point of view, environmental, animal welfare... it’s really key” 🌱

Speaking at our Lobby Day for Plant-Rich Diets, Nick from This highlights why it’s time for the UK Government to translate this consensus into action.

🗺️ The Ten Point Plan offers the UK Government a roadmap to do just that. And it’s now up to us to make sure that these asks are heard by as many policymakers as possible.

🌍 The UK Government has set out its proposed Seventh Carbon Budget, aiming to achieve an 87% reduction in emissions from 1990 levels by 2042 - in line with advice from the independent Climate Change Committee.

📝 However, so far, the Government has failed to recognise a key contributor to achieving this: reducing meat and dairy consumption - one of the Committee’s central recommendations.

🌱 The evidence is clear. There is now broad consensus that the UK needs to transition towards more plant-rich diets and away from animal agriculture to meet its environmental commitments. Other countries are already taking action, and the UK public are ready for change.

📢 Join us in calling on the UK Government to recognise dietary change as an essential part of the solution. Contact your MP today: www.vegansociety.com/ten-point-plan

The conversation covers identity, resilience and finding purpose, as Sean looks back on his journey from Brisbane to London and on how he worked to become one of the most recognisable voices in both the vegan and LGBTQ+ communities. 🌱 🏳️‍🌈

A significant moment for the recognition and protection of ethical veganism across Europe! ⚖️

We're grateful to Clive Lewis MP for taking the time to attend our recent parliamentary lobby day on plant-rich diets. 🥬 🌽 🍅

It was a fantastic opportunity for MPs to meet with constituents and hear directly from campaigners about why healthier, more sustainable food should be a priority. 🌱
