Please review the links provided if any blog posts have sparked your curiosity. This library lists some of the most trusted plant-based experts and organisations. I believe in logic, science and sound data.

You can see the evidence-based research behind the site’s posts by clicking on the links. You can also dig deeper into anything you are interested in. A wealth of good information exists; you only need to seek it.

If you clicked on an internal link that brought you here, it is not without purpose. I hope that you will explore more than the resource you sort. So you can easily navigate, I have arranged the sources alphabetically. This will help you find what you are looking for.

If you have any information that you feel should be added to this list, or you would like to work with me, please contact me.

I hope you enjoy these resources and help me to raise awareness by sharing anything you find helpful.
