When Sodexo Campus, the college and university arm of international foodservice giant Sodexo, announced this month that it will expand its plant-based menu items to 42 percent of the total meals it offers at hundreds of universities across the United States, it heralded the growing importance consumers place on earth-friendly, nutritious plant-based foods, as noted by industry e-magazine Veg News (https://nnw.fm/trgq2 ).
“When you see there are more than 20,000 known edible plants on our planet, and yet our food comes primarily from a dozen of them, there is definitely [an] opportunity to change and discover new ways of eating,” Sodexo Food Platform Senior Vice President John Wright stated a few years ago, as reported by VegNews. “Today, we are helping consumers as they look for ways to adopt more sustainable diets.”
The article also reported that a recent survey conducted by Innova Health & Nutrition found that 23 percent of the participants who are between 18 and 25 years old maintain a vegetarian or a vegan diet, and that nearly one-third of youth boosted their consumption of plant-based proteins in 2021 alone.

“It has always been our investment thesis that the globe will shift to more sustainable and environmentally friendly proteins,” CEO and Director Marc Aneed stated earlier this month in a discussion of the company’s efforts to expand global pulse production amid the market disruption caused by the war in Ukraine (https://nnw.fm/0sAAq ). “The next 24 months will be crucial for international food security as one of the world’s largest producers of fertilizer, agricultural crops and pulses is effectively closed off from the rest of the world.”
