## We are making City St George's more plant based for our planet and future

Many of us are aware that animal agriculture is hugely destructive for biodiversity and deforestation as well as on green house gas emissions etc. We want to make the issue visible, challenge the destructive status quo, and ultimately aim for 100% plant based meals served at City St George's and celebrate any improvement towards this in terms of uptake, affordability and options. We will massively benefit from your help\!

This campaign is recruiting team members. There is no public petition on this page.

## What is the problem?

### Livestock takes up roughly 77% to 80% of global agricultural land when combining grazing pastures and land used to grow animal feed

A global transition to a plant-based diet would shrink agricultural land from 4.1 billion hectares down to 1 billion hectares. That freed land equals an area roughly the size of North America and Brazil combined. (Our World in Data)

## What can we do?

### 50-60 more plant based meals per day served at City St George's during 2026 campaign. We can go further.

Every plate is a decision City St George's makes and can change. City St George's has already committed to "serve less meat and dairy" in its sustainable food statement 2024 and to getting to net zero by 2040. Going 100% plant-based is one of the most effective and controllable ways to deliver on that promise.

## Is that even possible?

University of Graz (in Austria) went fully plant-based. Edinburgh hit 70% plant based — and City St George's can be next\!
