Why now is the time to amplify our voices, with Marisa Heath

Cabinet Member for Environment Marisa Heath founded The Plant-based Food Alliance UK last year to bring businesses and organisations together to support the UK's thriving plant-based food sector and drive change in this space. Marisa explains how she went from vegetarian to vegan after witnessing the suffering of dairy cows, and how she's working to get our voices heard at a government level for the sake of the animals, our health and the environment. Holly and Marisa discuss the future of food labelling, working with the younger generation and low income communities, and why we all need to come together to make an impact at this critical time of change.Next week: Holly chats to The Little London Vegan about travelling as a vegan.
