Business rates relief for plant-based/vegan food retailers

Supporting plant-based retailers helps address the current imbalance in the food system, where animal-based products often have significantly higher environmental impacts, including contributing to ~83% of land use and 18% of global calories, while plant-based alternatives can offer lower emissions and resource use. By increasing the availability and visibility of plant-based options, this action encourages dietary shifts that align with sustainability goals and reduces the environmental burden of food production.
