In his lecture he will address different arguments for a plant-based diet, looking at the subject from a sustainability, animal rights and heath perspective. He will further shine a light on current drivers of the plant-based movement from a business, tech and finance angle. Tobias will explain his approach to communicating the benefits of veganism, which is friendly, pragmatic and strategic. He will talk about his personal mission and why he decided to work within the field of sustainability, the challenges that occur along the way and much more.
