The Greener by Default initiative proposes the University of Victoria serves >60% plant-based meals by December 2022, as a solution to reduce food systems emissions for climate change, and benefit campus and environmental health.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Greener by Default<\/a> is simple: Make plant-based food the default and give people the choice to opt in for meals with animal products. Part of a broad international initiative shared across \u00a0universities, institutions, and individuals, Greener by Default is inclusive, reduces your carbon footprint, and increases the healthfulness of your meals.<\/p>\n

Under the Default Veg<\/a> partner banner, our initiative was chosen as 2nd place of 20 initiatives<\/a> in UVic’s Climate Solutions Challenge<\/a>\u00a02021:<\/p>\n
