Student Opinion: Plant-based food

In June 2024 we asked students about their views on plant-based food and food options on their campus. Over 960 students completed the survey and told us…

  • 18% said they don’t eat meat
  • 12% think of themselves as flexitarian, reducing the amount of meat in their diet
  • 69% say they’re willing to, or have already, make changes to their diet to lower the impact on the environment

Thinking about their institution, respondents told us…

  • 70% say it’s important that their university/college plays an active role in ensuring staff and students have access to nutritious and sustainable food on campus
  • 31% of respondents would like to see more plant-based food and drink options on their campus
