Advertising and promotion

The event will be promoted widely through newspapers, radio, and online mediums. We hope to attract more than 2.000 visitors to this year’s event.

Community support
Help the NCVA to connect like-minded community members, increase awareness of the health benefits of a plant-based diet and improve the social infrastructure that supports a plant-based diet.
Promote a cleaner environment
The consumption of local, plant-based foods leaves a far lighter ecological footprint on our environment. Take action to promote the environmental linkage to dietary choices.
Preventative health care
Many health issues can be prevented and reversed with proper dietary care. Provide knowledge to help prevent health issues.
