Aims & Objectives

Here is an incomplete list of our aims and objectives which will hopefully shed some light on what the organisation is intended to be about:

1. To help raise awareness within different social groups including but not limited to communities of faith, about:

a) the benefits of a whole plant based diet for optimum mental and physical health – and to the wider world; and

b) the consequences of industrial animal agriculture and;

– its impact on the animals involved

– its impact on the natural world (global warming, deforestation etc)

– its impact on human health and its contribution to dietary related diseases and illness

c) ‘speciesism’ and it’s subordinate manifestations of prejudice such as ‘racism’, ‘sexism’, ‘ableism’ ‘classism’ , ‘ageism’ and so on;
