Our broken food systems are upheld by the demand for animal products – we can change that by choosing compassion.
Veganism is a philosophy and way of living that aims to avoid animal exploitation wherever possible. For many people, that starts with food – choosing meals free from meat, dairy, eggs, and other animal products. Veganism goes beyond what’s on our plates. It also means avoiding products and activities that exploit animals, such as leather, wool, animal testing, and animal entertainment, wherever practical alternatives exist.
SAFE is a vegan organisation, and all of our team members are passionate about this ethos. That’s why we’ve put together ‘Go Vegan’ – our guide to plant-based eating and living a vegan lifestyle. Together, we’re transforming systems that exploit animals, people and the planet.
The scale of suffering faced by animals, particularly farmed animals, is immense. Choosing to eat a plant-based, vegan diet is the best way to create a kinder Aotearoa for animals. Every meal is a chance to put our values into action.

Veganism goes beyond the food that we eat, being a broader ethical philosophy that seeks to avoid animal exploitation wherever possible. Plant-based eating, on the other hand, is usually focused primarily on food choices. Keeping animals off your plate is an excellent way to reduce the demand for animal products, which makes a positive difference for animals, your health, and the planet.
