Hey Reader,

Join us at our February Meetup and learn how you and your business can shift towards more sustainable dietary practices.

Adopting a plant-forward approach, reducing meat consumption, and ensuring access to nutritious food are key pillars in promoting sustainable and healthy eating habits. According to the FAO, livestock production accounts for approximately 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. Additionally, around 2 billion people worldwide suffer from malnutrition, while 1.9 billion adults are overweight or obese.

But it’s not necessarily about completely cutting intake of animal protein, it’s about making more informed and responsible choices when we eat meat. Joining us from Animals Aotearoa and Planet For All, Marianne Macdonald and Wendy Chan will give us the latest updates on better meat and cage-free eggs in the region.

So what are the options when it comes to substituting meat? We will hear from our Member KARANA who creates plant-based meat using ingredients that support biodiversity, and healthy soil, are good for farmers, and can be crafted into the most delicious dishes across any cuisine such as jackfruit!

Don't miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future. We have also prepared fun engagement activities to keep you energised and involved. You will go home with new knowledge and actionable ideas.

We will be hosted by the team at Swire Properties, our latest Corporate Member with whom we are partnering for a new and exciting tenant engagement programme.

Special notice: Join us at 2.30 PM if you would like to be given a special tour of the venue by the team at Swire Properties. Otherwise, see you at 3.30 PM as per usual.
