DefaultVeg expansion to almost 400 campuses serving 1 million students coincides with a newly published study showing that consistently offering plant-based meals as the default option is highly effective at encouraging students to choose them, cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Key Points:

The study conducted randomized controlled trials during the DefaultVeg pilot at three universities-Tulane University, Lehigh University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - with all-you-care-to-eat Sodexo dining halls.
These dining halls alternated between plant-based and meat-based dishes as the default option at one hot entree station.
Better Food Foundation supports students, staff and leaders at universities and other institutions to shift how food is served.
An organization incubated by Better Food Foundation, Greener by Default, provides consulting to providers seeking to implement plant-based nudges.
