Vegan Friendly promotion
The Land of Now is participating in the Vegan Friendly promotion. NVV members receive a 10% discount on products from our store.
The Vegan Friendly promotion is intended to draw attention to eateries, (web) stores and other initiatives with a (partially) vegan offering.
Sustainability
Everything is subject to change. In fact, you can’t really talk about true sustainability. In our view, sustainability is therefore about conscious choices that are constructive. Choices that contribute something.
Aware of the consequences of each choice, and striving to do as little harm as possible. Sustainability, then, is about right proportions. We strive to make every choice we face a choice that contributes something positive to this world.
The Land of Now lets you experience what sustainability can mean for people, animals, the environment and life. How we do that? Simply by doing it. You see that in our programs, the meals, the accommodations, how we treat nature, and you experience that in the way we treat each other.

Why?
The Land of Now likes to contribute positively to a nonviolent and sustainable world. A free world with equal opportunities for all.
Every choice we make has a consequence. We are optimistic and seek to make choices with positive and constructive consequences.
Veganism is one such choice with a positive consequence that can contribute to a peaceful world and a better living environment.
Nature and Environment
Livestock production is responsible for the largest emissions (at least 18% of the total) of greenhouse gases such as methane and CO2, making it a major cause of global warming.
In addition, the United Nations states that meat production is the second largest cause of environmental problems such as soil contamination, water and air pollution, acidification and damage to biodiversity (e.g., through the clearing of rainforests). With a plant-based diet, you consciously choose a sustainable alternative and a cleaner, more livable planet.

Fellow
More and more people are becoming aware that livestock feed (such as soy, corn, etc.) is grown on a very large scale for the production of meat, dairy and eggs. In total, more than 70% of all farmland is currently used for livestock production.
Moreover, it takes several kilograms of livestock feed to produce 1 kg of meat. Therefore, it is more efficient to use agricultural land directly for food production for human consumption. Thus, a contribution can be made to reducing the world food problem.

Health
A varied plant-based diet provides all the nutrients you need to stay healthy and energetic. By eating (more) plant-based foods, you reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and various other diseases.
Plant-based foods also contain no cholesterol and less saturated fats. Plant-based diets are also becoming increasingly popular among elite athletes.

Animals
Many people become vegan out of a desire not to contribute to animal suffering. Collectively, vegans can drastically reduce the number of animals raised, confined, exploited and killed prematurely each year.
Just one vegan makes a substantial difference to dozens of animals each year. Veganism is a clear statement against a system in which animals are seen and treated as utensils or means of production.
