## What is the problem?

### 57% of food emissions come from animal products

Food systems are responsible for around a third of all global greenhouse gas emissions, and animal products are the dominant driver. Meat and dairy alone generate more emissions than all the world's planes, ships, and cars combined. Every meal LUCA serves is a choice between perpetuating this crisis or being part of the solution.

## What can we do?

### Every plate is a choice

Every plate presents an opportunity to make a positive impact. LUCA says they are fully committed to sustainability. Going 100% plant-based is one of the most visible, controllable ways to actually deliver on that promise, and helps shift public opinion in favour of a plant-based food system.

## Is that even possible?

University of Graz went fully plant-based. The VUB students in Brussels passed a vote for 80% — and we are making LUCA Ghent follow next\!

## Petition

To Stuvoraad LUCA

Plant-Based Universities is an international grassroots student campaign calling for universities and colleges to transition in a just and sustainable way to 100% plant-based catering. This institutional transition significantly limits the university’s and college's own contribution to the climate and nature crises, and it shifts public opinion in favour of a fully plant-based food system. The campaign is currently active in over 90 universities and colleges in Europe and the United Kingdom.

Through this petition, we ask LUCA Ghent to be part of the transition towards a sustainable and just plant-based food system by transitioning to 100% plant-based catering. From climate science we learn that a transition to a plant-based diet is necessary to address the climate crisis, universities and colleges therefore play an important role in spreading this message.

We are aiming for 1000 signatures to show LUCA that the students support this transition. Your support could make all the difference. Sign to help end the climate crisis and make LUCA truly just and sustainable.
