Around The Vegan Web This Week Ending 3rd Nov 2024
Welfare Labels: Comfort or Deliberate Deception?
RSPCA Assured and similar welfare schemes are in the news again and under fire for allegedly prioritizing consumer trust over animal well-being. Critics argue these programs mask the harsh realities of farming, offering an illusion of high standards. Ethical Globe points out that such schemes can be a form of “welfare washing,” giving consumers a false sense of assurance while animals endure routine suffering. The blog suggests that true change involves questioning the necessity of animal products and shifting towards plant-based choices. This angle aligns with broader animal rights movements that emphasize not just improved welfare, but liberation and ethical treatment.
Meatable’s Cultivated Pork Makes TIME’s Best Inventions List
Meatable’s breakthrough cultivated pork has earned a spot on TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024. The Dutch company’s innovation promises an ethical, scalable alternative to conventional meat, using their patented Opti-Oink™ technology to produce real meat without harming animals. Recognized for its potential to disrupt traditional farming, this invention signals a shift towards sustainable food sources. TIME highlighted how it “could help satisfy global meat demand” while reducing environmental impact. As plant-based living continues to grow, such technologies offer another avenue for ethical choices in the food industry.
Why Participation Matters: A Call to Action
Climate Healers urges readers to actively engage in addressing climate change, stressing that passive observation falls short. This insightful piece highlights how collective responsibility is vital, framing the issue as not just environmental but moral. A powerful reminder underscores that “inaction is not an option” when the planet’s future is at stake. It’s time to stand up and be counted, embracing the values of veganism, advocating that reducing animal agriculture can be a key step in tackling environmental challenges. V-COP 19 is upon us …
Who Pays for Nature Restoration?
With $700bn a year needed for global nature restoration, the challenge of sourcing this funding has sparked heated debate at the UN’s Cop16 summit. Developing countries are pressing wealthy nations to fulfill their promises, but progress has been slow. Recent pledges fall short, with experts like Campaign for Nature’s Alice Jay noting that consistent support is crucial: “$300m each month… until 2030.” Financial shortfalls hinder meaningful action, straining trust between rich and developing nations and stalling vital biodiversity work. Has the human race finally run out of time?
Innovation in Plant-Based Ingredients
Alland & Robert, known for its plant-based acacia gum, is spotlighting sustainable innovations in health-focused ingredients. Recent showcases highlight their commitment to creating natural, eco-friendly solutions that benefit wellness and nutrition. Emphasizing research, they’re exploring unique properties of acacia gum that support digestive health and offer potential for use in dairy-free and plant-based products.
Syndeo® Gelling is Alland & Robert’s innovative solution designed to enhance texture and consistency, focused on this growing market. Stability and mouthfeel is where it’s at. Ideal for use in dairy-free and vegan-friendly recipes. It’s yet another example of how more and more companies are committing to sustainability and natural product development. You will find them at booth 3.0 F80 showcasing their wares at Fi Europe 2024.
Plant-Based Meat Market Poised for Major Growth
The global plant-based meat market is expected to reach $24.77 billion by 2030, driven by growing health consciousness and environmental awareness. With shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable protein sources, demand is surging, especially for products that replicate the taste and texture of real meat. The report notes significant investment in research and innovation, positioning the sector for rapid expansion. This trend aligns with the broader movement towards plant-based living and reducing the environmental impact of food production.
