How Does Food Planet Health Help Students?
The Food Planet Health Awareness Program helps students learn about the impact of their food choices on the environment, animals, and their health. It gives students more agency for choosing a compassionate, sustainable, healthy diet.
Impact on Environment
Meat and dairy production produces 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions while providing just 18% of calories and 37% of protein. The program helps students to consume environmentally sustainable food by going plant-based.
Impact on Animals
Worldwide, more than 70 billion land animals are killed for food every year. Animals are bred, impregnated, tortured, and transported to slaughterhouses to meet gruesome ends. The Food Planet Health Awareness Sessions help students learn about speciesism and the brutal atrocities that animals suffer on farms.
Impact on Health
Eating plant-based food is good not only for plants and animals but also for our health. People who eat plant-based diets have:
- 3/4–1/2 lower rates of high blood pressure.
- 2/3 lower risk of type-2 diabetes.
- 15–20% lower risk of cancer.
- Significantly lower cholesterol levels.
Impact on Land and Water
Meat and Dairy production uses 83% of farmland and 33% of total drinkable water. Do you know it requires 660 liters of water to produce 1kg of chicken? The Food Planet Health program helps students choose environmentally sustainable food with a low carbon footprint and food that can save water.
Increase in Animal-Derived Consumption from a Growing Population is Leading to More Stress on the Planet.
We need to make sustainable and compassionate food choices!

After the webinar, I gained a clear understanding of how animals are affected by a non-vegan diet. It is definitely important to transition to a vegan diet to reduce this impact.

This session gave me a wonderful insight into veganism. I’m currently a non-vegetarian, and I didn’t realize how animals are produced to feed us. Learning about how animals are treated really shocked me. From now on, I want to take the initiative to become vegan.

The idea of adopting a vegan lifestyle is a great approach to saving innocent animals, but in the present situation, where the animal agriculture industry is worth billions, it raises questions about how to address the economic impact, especially in a time when unemployment is a concern. While I am also against eating the meat of innocent animals, the challenge lies in finding solutions that balance animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and economic factors like employment. Transitioning to plant-based alternatives and supporting industries that promote cruelty-free practices can help drive change.
