Arthur Maurer, Founder, Veganya Food
A gradual revolution is taking place in the world of food, where taste is the king, challenging conventional ideas of what makes a fulfilling meal. Plant-based substitutes are progressively gaining traction and bridging cultural and national divides as the world struggles with challenges of sustainability, health consciousness, and ethical consumption.
