VON will be hosting a series of talks and panel on Sunday, as well as having a stall with information on veganic growing and fresh veganic veg across the event weekend.
Ecological Veganism is about more than plant-based sausage rolls when these are still part of the corporate global food production system, causing soil degradation, global inequality and contributing to climate change. Join Graham Burnett at Plant Powered Expo this Sunday in exploring the question “What food solutions offer futures that care for the Earth, care for People and are truly fair for all?”
