OUR PURPOSE
Placing plant-based foods at the center of the food system transformation in light of sustainability and scientific methods.
The Plant-Based Foods Association (BİTKİDEN) is a multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder platform that brings together stakeholders at every stage of the plant-based food value chain around a common goal based on sustainability.

Sustainable Diets: Plant-Based Alternatives to Feed the World
A plant-based diet relies on foods derived from plants that contain very few or no animal-derived components. This includes vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fruits. You may choose…
Food systems account for one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. If left unchecked, these emissions will likely cause enough additional warming to push the world’s average temperature above a 1.5°C…
Researchers analyzed what would happen if animal-based foods were replaced with plant-based whole foods. Anne Charlotte explains: “Whole foods (fruits, vegetables, etc.) are slightly better in terms of environmental impact,…
Reducing Carbon Footprint: The Impact of Plant-Based Foods on Climate Change
Today, climate change has become one of the world’s most significant environmental issues, posing serious threats to the sustainability of our planet and human health. Climate change occurs as a result of the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the acceleration of global warming. Human activities such as the use of fossil fuels, deforestation, and livestock farming are responsible for a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions. At this point, it is important to emphasize the critical role that plant-based foods play in combating climate change.
