Objective
All are welcome to join VEG from lifelong vegans to the ‘vegan-curious’. VEG is founded on the idea that universities have a duty to translate the research they produce that supports transitioning to a plant-based food system that is necessary to maximize health and longevity, and address the climate emergency.
Those interested can contact Convener Elizabeth Dean, elizabeth.dean@ubc.ca for details on how to be added to the VEG list for updated information.

VEG hopes to provide resources on test-kitchen skills. Potlucks and opportunities to connect with each other are possibilities. VEG is here to serve the interests of all motivations for joining VEG (e.g., personal health, national health, environmental/climate and planetary health, and animal health and welfare and wellbeing, or simply curiousity.
