Initiatives
Our programs transform the corporate, university, and food service environments and narratives that both guide food choices and shape attitudes towards plant-based eating, leading to large scale and lasting diet change.
Plant-Based by Default
Learn about the most successful nudge — Plant-Based by Default — a simple way to serve healthier, sustainable meals by ‘nudging’ consumers toward the best choice. Read about the simple shifts in food service with choice architecture that’s leading to sustainable food systems globally.
DefaultVeg Campus
Our university-focused program empowers students and faculty to advocate for sustainable food systems change in food service. The DefaultVeg Internship and Course Curriculum help transform the campus and advocates on both personal and institutional levels, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond the dining hall as participants develop lifelong skills in effective communications, systems thinking, and change leadership.
Movement Building
The Better Food Foundation is committed to strengthening the movement for diet change as a whole. We build capacity for community-based advocates, faith-based institutions, and authors who are reshaping how we think about food. We build strong coalitions with environmental, social justice, and health advocates to produce solutions that can meaningfully transform our food system.
