WE RAISE AWARENESS

48%

FALSELY BELIEVE

Our research exposed significant gaps in people’s understanding about animal agriculture and their expectations of kosher certification.

Nearly half of Jewish Americans falsely believe that animals in kosher production are better treated than non-kosher.

WE HELP CONSUMERS ALIGN THEIR VALUES AND PRACTICE

SAVES UP TO

2/3

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS & WATER USE

The primary strategy we advocate for and help communities adopt–plant-based defaults–is a set of subtle changes with big impact.

Compared to a typical gathering, a gathering that serves plant-based food by default saves up to ⅔ in greenhouse gas emissions and water use, along with up to ¾ savings in food-related land use.

WE EMPOWER LEADERS

400+

JEWISH CLERGY & LEADERS

Our merging organizations have recruited hundreds of Jewish clergy and leaders who are calling for positive change to our food practices.

Over 400 Jewish clergy and leaders have called for more sustainable food practices that center plant-based food and avoid products from factory farms.
