The food justice committee created a very elaborate and alternative meals, aligned with GIN principles and philosophy. We focused on local providers, thinking about either health, social and environmental aspects. Meat is out of the groceries shopping list, but non-vegetarian people will have plenty of traditional Brazilian options to choose from (pasta, pizza, cakes, feijoada, among others) and hopefully our meals will feel special and pleasant. They will contain common ingredients like eggs and dairy, meaning they are not vegan. They will sure provide people with energy and nutrients to get through the intense conference days.
