Ellen van Schoten of the Executive Board would like to see the Erasmus University be completely vegan by 2030. If it helps to achieve the sustainability goals, the board member doesn\u2019t shy away from adjusting the behaviour of students and staff with marketing techniques.<\/p>\n

According to Van Schoten, food consumption makes up \u2018a substantial part of our university carbon footprint. The production of meat and dairy products involves much more carbon emissions than plant-based products. At the EUR, 4.5 per cent in 2020 and 8.49 per cent in 2019 (a year without a corona crisis) of the university\u2019s total emissions were due to catering. That\u2019s why she thinks it\u2019s debatable to take steps toward a vegan campus.<\/p>\n\n\t
