Food sits at the heart of some of the biggest challenges we face — from climate change and pollution to public health, food insecurity, and social inequality. But can changing what we eat really make a difference?
Join Patrick from PETA for an engaging and accessible conversation exploring how plant-based choices can positively impact humans, other animals, and the planet. Together we’ll unpack the hidden costs of industrial animal farming, including its links to zoonotic diseases, antibiotic resistance, environmental damage, and the disproportionate impact these systems can have on marginalised communities.
Alongside the bigger picture, this session also offers practical, grounded guidance for anyone curious about eating more plant-based — whether through small everyday swaps or a fully vegan lifestyle. Expect useful tips, honest discussion, and space for questions, all rooted in Shambala values of kindness, fairness, and collective care.
