“A plant based diet has health benefits for us, means no animals are harmed and is good for the environment around us. We are thrilled that sign-up for this year’s Veganuary have exceeded half a million and we are proud to support the campaign” said JTS Managing Director, Tracy Mitchell.
“Whether you have been a vegan for some time, have decided to go vegan for January or are simply introducing some vegan meals to your diet, having so many people interested in a plant-based diet can only be good for the planet with sustainable farming methods a key feature of the products we import from developing countries”.
“Our award winning Kilombero rice for instance is grown by smallholder farmers in Malawi using traditional cultivation methods which protect the environment and have sustained local communities for centuries. We are also the importer of Ma’s Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk from Sri Lanka which contains only coconut milk and water. It’s also Fairtrade certified which means that growers benefit from the likes of health insurance and support in education as well as assistance with sustainable agricultural practices. So, choosing our vegan friendly products is a win-win scenario for the growers, the planet and you”.
