World Vegan Month

World Vegan Month’s History?

World Vegan Month celebration is a movement to decry all acts of unnecessary violence and cruelty against animals. World Vegan Month was first established in 1994 to celebrate the movement regarding the vegan ideology. It was also celebrated to commemorate the 50th year anniversary of the UK’s Vegan Society – which was founded in 1944 November. Another reason behind celebrating World Vegan Month in November is to honor the animals whose lives were given for meals and the date is in line with Halloween and the Day of the Dead.??

Why Vegan??

Veganism ranges from people who just will not eat or consume everything made out of animal skin or flesh to people who actively advocate for every way against these practices in any way or form. Veganism is also about being aware that eating a diet free of animal meat can be healthier for the body and more beneficial for the planet. It is a movement that decries all acts of cruelty and unnecessary violence against the animals on the earth.??

Eating a vegan diet can also be a healthier option for many people. In fact, several doctors and nutritionists recommend a vegan diet, particularly for those who are trying to decrease the risk of diseases such as colon cancer, heart disease, and other life-threatening illnesses, or those who are recovering from them.?

Veganism in Numbers?

According to reports from Soylent, the number of vegans all around the world has reached approximately 79 million. From 2004 to 2019, the number in the USA has increased 30-fold. Even during the global pandemic, the market for plant-based products grew by 27%.?

Grand View Research has reported that the global market size for vegan food was valued at 16.55 billion USD in 2022 and is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7% for the next 7 years till 2030. The increased awareness about the health benefits brought by a vegan diet is the main factor in driving this market growth.?

Following a vegan diet can not only bring health benefits but also reduce the impact of climate change. Oxford University’s study has revealed that if the world adopted veganism, it could save up to 8 million human lives by the year 2050, eliminate the greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture sectors by two-thirds, and help avoid climate change impacts of around 1.5 trillion USD.?
