Keynote speaker Sumeet Bahl discussed the spiritual and scientific benefits of veganism, highlighting how mindful dietary choices connect personal health with ethical and societal well-being. His address framed veganism as both a practical lifestyle and a philosophical approach grounded in intention and compassionate decision-making.
Additional sessions explored insights on Blue Zones, longevity, plant-based nutrition, and the preventive value of whole-food diets in improving long-term health outcomes. Attendees also examined environmental impacts tied to animal agriculture, including emissions, water use, and land pressures associated with industrial farming.
