oNly a Few hoUrs lEft toGetHer Cows produce milk to feed their babies just like humans. This newborn calf will be taken away from her mother within a few hours of birth, so humans can take her milk. Her brother will be shot, or sold for veal. This is the reality of dairy farming.
Š Jo-Anne McArthur/We Animals
When people go dairy-free, fewer cows and their calves suer. Viva! has launched the biggest investigation of dairy farming this year - exposing its reality to the British public to change consumers' minds.

13.45-14.30 Talk: Why You Don’t Need Dairy Juliet Gellatley, Founder and Director, Viva! and Nutritional Therapist Juliet led an investigation this year into dairy farms that supply the biggest global brands. Her compelling talk asks: is it natural to consume milk after weaning? Indeed is it natural to consume cow’s milk at all? What is the life of a dairy cow and how does this link to our health? Why has dairy been linked to cancers? How do growth hormones and oestrogen in milk affect us? What are the dangers of milk protein and saturated fats? Do we – and especially our children – need calcium from dairy? Is goats’ milk the answer? If not, where should we obtain calcium and how do we ensure we have strong bones?
14.45-15.30 Talk: Veganism and Sustainability - how tricky is it? Martin Fodor, Bristol Green Councillor Most of vegans want to live in a way that respects the planet. But there are choices to make and our habits may have to change. How easy is it to be plastic free, plant-based, and to live a more sustainable life without compromising your vegan principles? This discussion will explore a range of global issues and show how vegans can adopt more sustainable practices, and also identify some of the difficult decisions we may have to make.
16.00-16.30 Music Performance: Kala Chung
Vegan Singer / Songwriter / Producer from Bristol, UK, making Electronic Urban Pop with a Chinese twist!
