The Problem Status Quo and Its Underlying Problem While interest in plant-based diets is growing globally due to environmental, ethical, and personal health concerns, many individuals face significant barriers when trying to incorporate these diets into their daily lives.

Challenges often include a lack of knowledge about plant-based foods, difficulty finding or making delicious recipes, access to or support from a community of peers, and barriers around simplifying a change in personal behavioural patterns.

Furthermore, the current market landscape is fragmented. People often need to navigate multiple platforms, blogs, cookbooks, and social media channels to find plantbased recipes, nutritional advice, cooking tips, and a community of like-minded individuals.

This fragmentation makes the transition to a plant-based diet seem more complex than it actually is. This fragmentation presents an ineffective user experience that impedes change.

Resource Gap While many wish to adopt plant-based diets, there's a clear lack of practical, engaging, and appetizing resources to guide them.

Fragmented Information The market is filled with disjointed solutions, forcing users to navigate multiple platforms for comprehensive plant-based information.

Engagement Issues Existing platforms promoting sustainable eating often lack the interactive elements that modern users desire, leading to decreased motivation and commitment.

Consumer Behavior and Trends A growing number of consumers are adopting "flexitarian" diets, and reducing meat consumption. This trend indicates a broadening consumer base for plant-based products beyond just those who identify as vegetarian or vegan.

Furthermore, advancements in food technology are leading to the creation of plant-based products that mimic the taste and texture of their animal-based counterparts, which is a significant factor in attracting consumers to try and continue using these products.
