Dietary inclusion standards for public catering (incl. plant-based)

Plant-based dietary inclusion is critical to reducing the environmental footprint of food systems, as animal products contribute disproportionately to greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and water consumption. Evidence shows that shifting toward plant-based diets can reduce global food-related emissions by up to 70% and free up vast areas of land, which could be used for reforestation and soil carbon sequestration, thereby supporting climate and biodiversity goals.
