Why Plant-Based food?

Plant based dishes are delicious, good for your health and for the environment.

Despite this, our food system drives a high consumption of meat. A lack of exposure means many of us cannot imagine eating a filling or delicious plant-based meal.

The Edgy Veg Awards supports cafes and pubs in the region to lead change in our food sector, putting their sustainability principles front and centre and serving more plant-based dishes during the Autumn Festival.

The creative chefs of Macedon Ranges are in an excellent position to showcase just how good plant based food can be - providing inspiration for cooking at home, and light, fresh and delicious options when out and about.

You can support our local food service industry to innovate by joining the trail, tasting and voting on Edgy Veg Award dishes. You may be surprised at how good plant-based food can be!
