Are you participating in #veganuary this year? Whether a full-time vegan, a skeptic, or a researcher interested in sustainability and climate change issues, people around the world are taking the pledge to give up meat products for the month of January to reduce carbon footprints and combat climate change and sustainability issues.
According to their website, this social movement nearly doubled in participation between 2018 and 2019, including the involvement of major stores, restaurants, and brands. Although this movement is growing, there is controversy around the health risks associated with veganism (i.e. nutrition deficiencies) and its international trade impacts.
To showcase the research behind the vegan lifestyle, meat alternatives, and this social movement, view below trending research from IGI Global editors Drs. Diana Bogueva, Dora Marinova, and Talia Raphaely from Curtin University, Australia, and Kurt Schmidinger, from the University of Vienna, Austria, including findings from their publication, Environmental, Health, and Business Opportunities in the New Meat Alternatives Market. Noted as a critical resource in sustainability and environmental science as it has recently won the Vegetarian Writing category of the 2020 Gourmand Awards, this publication is available in both print (ISBN: 9781522573500) and electronic (EISBN: 9781522573517) format through IGI Global’s Online Bookstore at a 20% discount, as well as featured in IGI Global’s InfoSci®-Books database (5,300+ e-books).
