World Vegan Month gets underway
World Vegan Month gets underway today, an annual month of awareness in which people around the world are encouraged to try vegan dishes.
Vegan products, from burgers to boots, have become increasingly popular among climate-conscious consumers.
Reducing meat consumption – especially red meat – is considered a key way to combat global warming, as the farming of livestock is energy and emission-intensive.
Brands have been capitalising on the trend, with the likes of adidas, Dr. Martens and Superdrug offering vegan products, while startups such as Impossible Foods have turned to tech to create meat-free alternatives.
