Animal Organization of the Week
ProVeg International is a global non-governmental organization dedicated to transforming the world’s food system by promoting plant-rich diets and alternative proteins as mainstream choices. Founded in 2017, it now operates in multiple countries across five continents, aiming to make plant-based foods more accessible, appealing, and widespread among consumers, policymakers, and businesses alike. Its overarching vision is a world in which the food people eat supports human health, animal welfare, and the environment, and its mission includes reducing reliance on animal agriculture by advocating for more sustainable food production and consumption patterns.
At the core of ProVeg’s work is multi-level engagement with stakeholders, from individuals to international institutions. The organization engages in research, advocacy, policy influence, and public campaigns to shift diets and food systems toward plant-forward models. For example, ProVeg participates in major UN climate forums with observer status and collaborates with European policymakers to shape food system strategy at a regional level. It also supports grassroots change through educational programs, grants, and campaigns that encourage schools, communities, and consumers to adopt plant-based eating.
Beyond advocacy, ProVeg fosters innovation through initiatives like the ProVeg Incubator, which supports startups in the alternative protein sector, and through data and insight reports designed to guide industry and consumer choices. The organization has received international recognition, including the United Nations’ Momentum for Change Award, for its impact in building more sustainable food environments. Through these combined efforts, ProVeg seeks not only to influence individual dietary choices but also to drive systemic change toward a food system that benefits people, animals, and the planet.
