The article takes a deep dive into spring, summer, and the multiple meat-free weeks which occur throughout the year. Meat-free events around the world Meat-free weeks are becoming increasingly popular; numerous events take place globally. Though they differ in place and date, they all share the same concept and goal – to encourage buyers to give up meat for one week, with the hope of showing them how easy it is to eat a more plant-based diet.
ProVeg Spain Worldwide, we have ‘World Meat-Free Week’, which took place in September 2022. In the UK, there’s ‘UK National Vegetarian Week’, which ran in May. The Netherlands celebrated ‘Meat-Free Week’ in March, and in Spain, ‘Meatless Week’ took place in June.
Let’s take a closer look at Spain’s initiative, as well known as ‘Semana Sin Carne’. Semana Sin Carne (SSC) is run by ProVeg’s Spanish team, and like most meat-free weeks, it encourages people to follow a plant-based diet for seven days. ProVeg Spain’s aim is to make the week as easy as possible for participants, providing sign-ups with all the tools they need to start their meat-free diet, and to make it as entertaining, healthy, and delicious as possible.
Those who take on the challenge receive a week’s menu with recipes, a helpful infographic to enable them to create their own dishes, comparison tables, daily nutrition advice, and support, as well as an empowering community through the SSC Facebook group. © The Vegetarian Butcher España ProVeg is well-positioned to offer brands and retailers expert advice on how best to strategise meat-free weeks. In 2021, The Vegetarian Butcher partnered with ProVeg Spain for June’s SSC. The partnership brought The Vegetarian Butcher’s products to the attention of SSC participants and put them in a better position to gain new shoppers.
