The Jain Vegan Initiative is a global collective of like-minded Jains with the mission to push the needle towards veganism in the global Jain community. With an increasing awareness of how our food systems tie to the mass exploitation of animals, our planet, and our health, The Jain Vegan Initiative believes that the collective shift towards veganism is the single biggest and most important moment in contemporary Jain culture. Arihanta Academy has partnered with the Jain Vegan Initiative to continue to promote a vegan lifestyle worldwide to encourage the remediation of environmental, animal welfare, and human health issues.
