Plant-Based Universities

Plant-Based Universities calls for universities to transition to plant-based, whilst equipping students with the skills and support to become future changemakers.

Plant-Based Universities is a student-led movement calling for universities to transition their catering to 100% plant-based to set the course for a plant-based food system in response to the climate crisis.

Starting in Europe, they have facilitated concrete wins in canteen policy, making universities set a new standard that inspires society-wide shifts. At the same time, equipping students with the skills and support to become the changemakers of tomorrow.

At univertisy canteens in Graz and Vienna alone, Plant-Based Universities shifted 400,000 meals per year to plant-based – achieved by just two students in one year. Now they are building a scalable playbook to replicate this success across universities everywhere.
