A rural campaign group has criticised a decision from students at Stirling University which will see the campus union move to a plant-based menu by 2025.
The Countryside Alliance says the move – backed by a majority of attendees at a student union meeting on November 10 – represents a “snub” to British farmers and have called for the university to reject the motion or call for a wider, campus-wide poll on the plans.
The proposed move will see the union on campus commit to moving towards a plant-based food system, delivering a 50 per cent plant-based offering by the beginning of the 2023/24 academic year and to fully achieve the aim no later than 2025.
