The group has set itself the goal of raising awareness of the negative consequences of so-called livestock farming, questioning culturally entrenched conditions and communicating the potential of plant-based food for the climate, animal welfare and global justice. Jena-Vegan wants to show that a vegan diet can be enjoyable, healthy and largely free of sacrifice.
