Today’s global livestock industry carries a greater carbon footprint than all transportation combined. It is extremely wasteful and inefficient in its use of the earth’s precious land and water resources. Our need for more and more land to fuel the food industry has lead to vast global deforestation which has significant a knock-on impact on our environment and ecosystems. This same industry is also one of the main sources of soil and water pollution. Taking the global pork industry as one example, an estimated 1.29 billion metric tonnes of waste is produced by the Chinese pork industry each year, and in North America, the hog industry has emitted so much nitrogen and phosphorus pollution that it has created a so-called “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico – an oxygen-depleted ocean.

OmniPork was developed by OmniFoods, a food innovation company launched by its parent company, Green Monday. Our experienced team of food scientists in Canada innovated this product based on years of extensive research on Asian cuisines and culinary practices. Omnipork is the all-purpose solution of Green Monday – a diversified and innovative social enterprise model – to promote shifting to a plant-based diet as a crucial means to tackle global warming and food insecurity. Since its establishment in 2012, Green Monday has worked with over 1000 restaurants globally, as well as schools and other companies, and effectively cultivated an awareness and appreciation for a plant-based lifestyle for the sake of the planet. A survey released by an international consultant in Dec 2018 revealed that Green Monday has helped increase the number of flexitarians in Hong Kong from 300,000 to an impressive 1.75M! That is a 20% increase in flexitarians and roughly 23% of the population! Already adopted by schools and government authorities within 30+ countries across the globe, Green Monday’s reach continues its global expansion, transforming diets and habits around the world for a better planet.
