  4. Our pledge of more veg with Peas Please
21st January 2021

The University of Edinburgh is increasing the amount of vegetables it serves to encourage students and staff to eat an extra portion per day.

It's one of three positive commitments the University made in joining the Peas Please initiative in January 2020.

What is Peas Please?

A trail-blazing initiative focused specifically on veg, Peas Please aims to bring together farmers, retailers, fast food and restaurant chains, caterers, processors and government departments with a common goal of making it easier for everyone to eat veg.

Committed to collaborative working, Peas Pease is led by project partners the Food Foundation, Nourish Scotland, Food Sense Wales, Food NI, and Belfast Food Network who have secured engagement and support from organisations in cities, business and governments across the UK to bring about change to the whole food system to improve people’s health and wellbeing.
