How Do World Issues Affect Veganism?

Join Heather Mills for an inspiring 30-minute talk at VegfestUK Birmingham, where she explores the powerful connection between global challenges and the rise of veganism. From climate change and food security to health crises and ethical responsibility, Heather examines how world issues are shaping the way we eat—and why plant-based living is more relevant than ever.

Drawing on her experience as a long-standing advocate for ethical living and as a show sponsor, Heather will also introduce No Bloat—a pioneering range of vegan ready meals designed with gut health and compassion at their core. She will highlight how innovation in plant-based nutrition can respond to global needs while supporting personal wellbeing.

This talk will also emphasise the importance of community and collaboration within the vegan movement, showing how events like Vegfest create vital spaces to connect, amplify organisations, and inspire collective action.

With a focus on resilience, sustainability, and global awareness, this session is a call to action—encouraging us all to recognise the wider impact of our choices and work together toward a more compassionate, healthier future.
