 Public institutions, such as schools, hospitals, prisons, and military bases, serve millions of meals every day. This makes governments some of the largest food purchasers in the world. With such immense buying power, the question arises: could public procurement be used as a tool to promote more sustainable, plant-based diets and reduce meat consumption? The concept of leveraging public procurement law to encourage meat-free meals is gaining momentum. But while the potential is significant, the path forward is anything but simple.
