Most Populous countries for Vegans Veganism is stronger than ever, as you can see by the number of countries whose cuisine traditionally is greatly meat- and dairy-based seeing a big rise in veganism. So let’s take a look at where veganism is most popular in 2020. Drum roll please. 10 Ireland Veganism has been popular in Ireland for some time, but the plant-based cuisine is enjoying an even bigger popularity lately. A recent Wellwoman Vegan study found nearly half of Irish people said they would go vegan for environmental and ethical reasons and 37% would change to a vegan diet permanently. 9 Canada Changes in diet are always led by the people. But the government agency Health Canada actually prioritized plant-based foods over meat, seafood, and dairy in its 2018 Food Guide, giving the vegan trend a serious boot. 8 Switzerland According to a 2019 survey, a full 31% of Swiss have reduced or completely cut out meat from their diet. That’s a huge number for a country famous for its fondue and many other meat and cheese-based dishes. And by including those reducing meat consumption, the figure is probably more reflective of the growing worldwide trend. 7 Sweden Despite its long winters making it a bit difficult to produce great quantities of veg, and a meat and dairy- heavy traditional Swedish cuisine, veganism is booming in this health-conscious, climate-savvy land. So much so, it is home to the first vegan school in all the Nordic countries, and is a leading force in vegan food innovations. 6 Germany Now, nearly 10% of the population are vegetarian and 1.6% eating vegan, the highest rate in Europe, and the numbers are increasing every year. Four German cities feature in the top 15 worldwide, and the country itself is becoming a leading producer of meat substitutes. 5 New Zealand Another meat-loving country turning vegan, New Zealand may have slipped in the rankings, but that’s more about the rise in Israel and Austria than any loss of Kiwi interest. In fact, meat-free eating jumped 15% in 2019, quite a worry for a meat-driven economy. 4 Austria Austrian food is packed full of meat and dairy – check out the list of 16 most popular Austrian foods on Wikipedia where the only veggies are horseradish, onions, and sauerkraut. So it’s a comforting surprise to see Austria at its all-time high for veganism and ranked 4th in worldwide vegan-embracing countries. 3 Israel With over 5% of the population claiming to be vegan, Israel is clearly taking up the vegan trend. Health, environment, and animal cruelty are major factors. But unique to this newly-formed country is the mix of the traditional Mediterranean diet of the area and the strict dietary laws of Kosher food – the separation of meat, dairy, and parve, which is pretty much vegan apart from the fish gelatin and honey, which means it has been easy to embrace veganism. 2 Australia Australia has one of the largest vegan communities worldwide and was the most popular country for veganism in the world for 2 years. Climate change and its severe impact on Australia felt through extreme heat waves has only added to the debate about farming and meat consumption. As a result, meat-consumption has started to decline in Australia, though Australians still consume more meat per capita than pretty much most of the world. 1 United Kingdom Helped by Veganuary and expansive media coverage, veganism popularity has exploded in the UK. It’s now the third year in a row (it shared first place with Australia in 2018) that the UK ranks as the most popular country for veganism in the world. So popular is plant-based eating here that five of the top 15 cities worldwide are in the UK. Thanks for watching the video. Do like, share and comment the video.
