The Plant-Based Foods Association (PBFA) empowers the industry by advocating for government policies that allow fair competition while expanding market opportunities for retail, distribution, and food service.

PBFA consists of members and supporters with the shared goal of ensuring the plant-based foods industry can succeed and thrive. Also, their yearly events are sooo worth it!

This is a Facebook group where creatives gather digitally to network and share their work with one another. From my experience at Vexquisit, I’ve learned that collaborating with like-minded people can be priceless!

The most connected people are often the most successful. Networking in this group will increase your online presence and allow for other creatives to refer you if the right opportunity comes along ☺️ 💚 Keep on creating and spreading those vegan seeds ❤️

VWS is supported by leading CEOs, founders, investors, athletes, & nonprofit leaders.

Alice and Lucy, the Vegan Sisters, are creating a plant-based world with empowered plant-friendly people. Their vegan editorial fosters an international community of writers producing articles covering anything from travel advice to lifestyle tips, product reviews, evidence-based nutrition and food ideas. All 100% vegan.

The Vegan Sisters also run their own SEO and content writing services. I’ve worked with Alice since last year and have only ever seen positive results!

Probably the biggest media source in the world that is fully based on kindness. LIVEKINDLY shares the latest news in the vegan industry. They focus on inspirational stories that promote positivity.

They are firm believers in being the change they want to see in this world. For humanity, our home, and those who share it with us.

Need an incentive to go vegan? Here is the largest collection of vegan

movies and documentaries, simply pick the first one that piques your interest and take it from there. The animals? Your health? The planet? From my experience, going vegan for the animals tends to be the strongest motivator. My top recommendations are: Game Changers (this one is non-graphic), Seaspiracy, Cowspiracy, Dominion, What the Health, and Earthlings.

For my Spanish speaking friends I recommend Vida Verde:

VidaVerde es una fuente de información que comparte artículos sobre el estilo de vida consciente desde todas las perspectivas: animales, planeta, bienestar personal y emprendimiento. Todo lo que crean es positivo, inclusivo, e invita a tomar acción, de la forma y en la medida en la que sea posible para cada quien.

For most of us, the biggest challenge going vegan is helping our friends and family open up to veganism. And for activists, to be sustainable and achieve positive results.

Thanks to the Center for Effective Vegan Advocacy (CEVA), I have personally been able to enjoy way healthier relationships with my non-vegan friends and family. While enjoying a vegan Christmas in the process.

Berlin is arguably THE vegan capital of the world. So it has A LOT of vegan restaurants - easy to find through a Google search or Happy Cow!! This is a shortlist of ONLY my favorite places :)

Although Valencia does not have as many vegan restaurants as Berlin, there are still many amazing vegan-friendly restaurants that I am continuing to discover! And the friendliness of the city makes it so easy to eat vegan delicious food when eating out!

I am a total HappyCow fan and use it whenever I travel! It’s often a lot better than using Google since most reviews are by vegans that also know how good vegan food can be and don't believe that a tomato pasta qualifies as a decent vegan dish ;) (the app is also pretty cheap. Worth it!)

This online vegan cooking school hosts courses by expert chefs from around the world and they’re always adding new lessons! A full membership gives you access to all of their online courses, allowing you to boost your cooking skills and create flavorful vegan dishes to impress your friends and family.

Cuenca is my home city, thus I am visiting here my friends and family as much as I can. So I am updating this map every time I am around, or here and there when I hear of a new must-try place!
