Regenesis is the opposite of extinction. We want UAL to become a pioneer in tackling the climate and ecological crises beyond Carbon Emissions. We believe that the first area to tackle is the food that is on offer in our campuses. We want to enable our canteens to offer students and staff forward thinking, curious and satisfying eating experiences that are nutritious and affordable.
By plant-based we refer to all produce that decarbonise the atmosphere during their growth: vegetables, nuts, pulses, grains, mushrooms, algae, and sea vegetables.
UAL can pair its prestigious status in arts, and design with tackling the climate and ecological crises beyond CO2 emissions, and support an exciting and creative community of farmers, chefs, innovators, scientists, and activists that are demonstrating the environmental, economic and social benefits of plants, mushrooms and algae food and material systems.
Raise awareness of the impact from animal agriculture and fishing industries
Engage students and staff in conversation and practice around being sustainable.
Lobby UAL to serve plant based catering in all venues, and publicly share the carbon footprint created by all venues.
Integrate teaching of Food and Justice, Ethics, and Climate & Ecology into the curriculum across UAL.
Lobby UAL to reduce the cost of food at UAL.
