Endorse/Adopt Plant-Based Treaty (motion/committee decision)

The UK food system requires a generational shift toward healthier, more affordable, and sustainable outcomes due to the significant environmental impacts associated with current dietary patterns, including higher greenhouse gas emissions, increased land and water use, and greater energy consumption. Evidence shows that plant-based diets, such as vegetarian and vegan patterns, can reduce diet-related greenhouse gas emissions by up to 83% and significantly lower land use, highlighting the potential of dietary change to drive a more sustainable food system transition.
