While many nutritionists, dieticians, and doctors are involved with the meat and dairy industry, there’s a growing number of experts going against the ‘norm’ and promoting the power of plant-based diets.

Consequently, learning about the benefits of an animal-product-free diet has never been easier. So without further ado, here are five plant-based experts you should know about (if you don’t already.)

PS. All of the experts listed below will be speaking at the 2020 Food Revolution conference – a free nine-day event running from April 25-May 3.

The summit will present the most up-to-date research and information about food, nutrition, disease prevention, immune health, and environmental stewardship.
