In 1944, the \"Vegan Society\" was founded in the UK, establishing it as one form of vegetarianism. It goes beyond mere diet and includes the philosophy of avoiding animal-derived materials in clothing, cosmetics, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the food industry, as the plant-based food market expands, vegan-compatible products (alternative meats, plant-based milks, egg substitutes, etc.) are increasing rapidly. Offering vegan menus is also advancing in tourism and the restaurant industry, and it is becoming an international standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_neisr6pd\">Characteristics and background of vegan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ethical background: its philosophy is animal welfare and avoiding the exploitation of animals<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relation to health consciousness: many practice it for lifestyle-disease prevention and weight management<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reducing environmental load: compared with livestock farming, it has lower CO\u2082 emissions and water resource consumption<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International spread: the vegan population is increasing not only in the West but in Asia as well<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Institutional background: the movement to grant products a \"Vegan certification mark,\" centered on the EU, is expanding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_unZnzhlK\">Examples of vegan use at Agriture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proposing vegan-compatible products made from sugar-free domestically grown dried fruit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OEM development of vegan foods using vegetable powders and dried vegetables<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expanding the use of plant-based ingredients in the pet food field<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Providing vegan-compatible ingredients for branding in a sustainable context<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_8BxbDyml\">Related keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/word\/plant-based\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">Plant-based<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/word\/vegetarian\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">Vegetarian<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vegan certification<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternative meat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sustainable food<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_1Wn1zxdd\">Related articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/oem\/vegetarian-oem\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">Vegetarian OEM: The Difference from Vegan and How to Choose Compatible Ingredients<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/oem\/sdgs-gift\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">7 environmentally conscious gifts companies choose | The latest SDGs-friendly trends<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/sustainable\/foodloss-upcycled\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">The relationship between non-standard vegetables and food loss | Solutions and case studies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_JYSIeB1x\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Q1.
