Publisher's Synopsis
It's official, the world's leading scientists have confirmed that eating a more plant-based diet plays a significant role in addressing the climate crisis by helping to reduce the environmental impact of global food production. There is also growing evidence that connects the health of our gut to our overall health and wellbeing, with researchers finding that the best foods for gut health are plant foods.
For many of us, this can feel overwhelming as it probably means making a shift away from the foods we know, love and have grown up with. We know this is not easy, and if you are looking for some guidance then this is the book for you.
From Plant To Planet is more than a vegan plant-based cookbook. It is your companion, offering a very practical guide on how to eat a plant-based diet and live a plant-based lifestyle.
