The Vegetarian Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group (VN DPG) is the leading authority on evidence-based plant-based nutrition for the public and health professionals who wish to learn more about the benefits of plant-based diets for health and sustainability.
From their Sustainability Page:
A sustainable and resilient food system conserves and renews natural resources, promotes biodiversity and food sovereignty, advances social justice and animal welfare, respects traditional and indigenous knowledge, builds community wealth, and fulfills the food and nutrition needs of all eaters now and in the future with a focus on plant-based foods.
The Academy advocates for policies and legislation that support equitable access to more plant-based foods in a variety of settings (e.g., schools, childcare nutrition programs, and federal assistance programs) and within clinical care to meet the cultural, customary eating patterns, religious, and sustainability preferences of individuals.
About VN DPG:
VN DPG professionals are at the forefront of educating the public about vegetarian nutrition and its relationship to disease management and prevention. The VN DPG comprises about 1,400 members globally who work as consultants, clinical dietitians, educators, researchers, and many more professional settings.”
