The Vegan Italy Podcast features interviews with vegan and ethical business owners, artists, musicians, change-makers, and other vegan entrepreneurs in Italy. Italy is known worldwide for its incredible culture, amazing food, fashion, design, architecture, philosophy, beauty and way of life. If something is made in Italy, the whole world knows that the quality will be superb. Vegan - Italy? These two words may seem like they do not go together in a land famous for its meat and cheeses however Italians are also a very compassionate people. As people are becoming more and more conscious of the fragile nature of our environment, the ethical and vegan market is experiencing immense growth worldwide and Italy is certainly no exception.It is from this vantage point that I am excited to talk to the many innovative ethical & vegan businesses that are starting up, transitioning, and growing all over the country. I will be talking to vegan and ethical business owners in Italy including food, cosmetics, health, product and clothing manufacturers, restaurants, tourism businesses, associations and more as they navigate their way in business, their reasons for being vegan, their challenges, frustrations, breakthrough’s and victories.Hosted by Zadia Lenders a vegan entrepreneur, owner of Coco Joes Vegan ice cream, Melbourne Australia but who has now transplanted herself and is living in Lucca Italy.
