5 REASONS TO SWITCH TO PLANT-BASED MILK
BETTER FOR ANIMALS
The dairy industry is a cause of immeasurable stress to cows. Due to the enormous volume of milk production, dairy cows, who are intelligent, empathetic, and affectionate animals, must endure uncomfortable and stressful conditions that do not meet even their most basic needs. Switching to plant milk means that this unnecessary suffering is reduced.
BETTER FOR THE PLANET
Animal agriculture is one of the leading drivers of climate change. This industry producing more greenhouse gases than all of the world’s transportation combined. Switching from dairy to plant milk is one of the ways in which you can significantly reduce your impact on the planet.
BETTER FOR YOU
Research consistently shows that a wholefood, plant-based diet – including plant milk – is good for you. Such a diet can help prevent hypertension, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and some kinds of cancer. You don’t need dairy milk to be healthy.
BETTER SELECTION
The rise of plant milk around the world means that consumers are no longer limited to soya milk but can now choose from a wide selection of plant-based milks, from almond to oat, hemp, cashew, and many other nuts and grains.
BETTER FOR PEOPLE
The land used for growing crops to feed to animals in order to produce dairy milk is far larger than the land used to grow the crops used for plant milks. Reduced land use means that there is more land available to grow crops for people rather than farmed animals.

The Plant Milk Report
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
“Although all plant milks are more environmentally friendly than cow’s milk, they differ substantially in terms of their greenhouse gas emissions and land and water impact.”
NUTRITIONAL VALUES AND HEALTH FACTS
“As much as 75% of the world’s adult human population is intolerant to ingested dietary lactose.”
THE FUTURE OF PLANT MILK
“Several scientists are currently working on producing lab-grown versions of the proteins that are found in cow’s milk -such as casein and whey – but without the need for cows or other animals.”
