Exeter City Council to raise awareness of the benefits of plant-based food

03.01.23

Cllr Josie Parkhouse and Cllr Duncan Wood — An increased focus on plant-based foods will provide individuals with a better variety of choice without excluding non-plant-based options.

Exeter City Council will be playing a role in raising awareness of the benefits of plant-based foods for the climate.

A motion supported by Councillors asks the Council to transition to plant-based catering at all internal Council-catered meetings, showcase plant-based foods at Council-run events, ensure all Council-run external sites have plant-based food options available and more.

These actions aim to encourage people to be aware of their choices and their impact on the climate.
