South Hams Plant Based Councils Campaign
We call on councils to lead the way in addressing the climate and ecological crisis by committing to a 100% plant-based food system.
Animal Rising’s Plant-Based Councils campaign is part of a broader strategy to create transformative change by working with institutions to shift public opinion and implement tangible solutions. Inspired by the success of our Plant-Based Universities campaign, we’ve adopted a community-focused approach to help councils champion bold, necessary actions toward a sustainable future.

Why is this important?
At a time of ecological and climate emergencies we need bold action, now.
Research demonstrates that transitioning to a plant-based food system could free up around 75% of global agricultural land, offering incredible potential for rewilding, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity restoration. Additionally, plant-based systems can reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions by up to 70%, making this shift one of the most effective solutions for tackling the climate crisis. By embracing plant-based solutions, we can create a healthier, greener planet while still producing enough nutritious food for everyone.

This campaign is an opportunity to drive positive change that benefits both people and the planet. Councils can lead the way by adopting plant-based food systems, reducing their environmental footprint, and setting a powerful example for others to follow. By joining this movement, we can build a sustainable future where thriving ecosystems and a stable climate are within reach. Together, we can ensure our food systems work for the benefit of all life.
