PlantBased Universities

Plant-Based Universities is a campaign run by Animal Rising, focused on promoting plant-based diets within university settings. Based in the United States, the organization is a relatively small team of 8 employees. The campaign advocates for universities to adopt 100% plant-based catering options, aligning with their sustainability goals and promoting responsible research within the food system. Plant-Based Universities has achieved significant success in the United Kingdom and Austria, securing plant-based changes within Students' Unions at nine universities across the UK and one in Austria. Campaign successes include securing commitments from Students' Unions at the University of Stirling, Cambridge University, Birmingham University, Queen Mary University of London, London Metropolitan University, University College London, Kent University, Warwick University, and Graz University. Plant-Based Universities actively engages with media outlets to raise awareness about their mission. The campaign has received coverage from prominent news sources such as BBC News, ITV News, and The Guardian, and has even appeared on the popular morning show Good Morning Britain.
