Nederlandse Vereniging voor Veganisme, or NVV for short, is the largest advocate for vegans in the Netherlands. We aim to end the exploitation of animals through education, knowledge, accessibility, and inclusion.

While some organizations focus on food or diet, we use the broader definition of veganism and look at animal use at large, be it for entertainment, clothes, testing, etc. We even think about the way we use animals in our language.

What actions or projects are you planning in 2023? What are the most important goals of NVV?

Our goal is to veganize the entire country! We do that one step at a time. We spread a lot of knowledge as well as counter disinformation, through various websites and social media channels, but also by being present at conventions and festivals with a stand.

Next to that, we work on making veganism more accessible by sharing recipes and by giving people the chance to participate in our Vegan Challenge.

One thing we are currently very excited about is our new education programme. Our trainers give guest lectures at high schools throughout the country. This way we can offer our perspective on the world to young people who are in a stage of their lives in which they are developing their own views.  >>MORE
