"A few years ago going plant-based in my society was something that people were afraid of. They saw it as an odd thing to do. However due to the reasons below, a lot of people are adopting a partial or fully plant-based lifestyle.
Firstly, high rate of diseases like high cholesterol or hypertension. Secondly, cattle grazing conflicts. Thirdly, education and awareness of all the benefits of plant-based forward cuisine: for humans, animals and the planet as well."
Bola is an Executive Chef in Veggie Victory, Nigeria. You can also find her on YouTube where she shares plant-based recipes.
