With veganism/vegetarianism gaining popularity, more individuals are adopting these diets for health and environmental reasons.

This gives rise to several questions:

  1. How healthy are the alternative diets of veganism/vegetarianism?
  2. Do they pose any risk if practiced without sufficient knowledge and customization?
  3. What are some issues vegans/vegetarians face? How can these be better addressed?

For our Master's project, we explored the area of veganism/vegetarianism within the scope of the above questions to conceptualize a solution that best addresses their needs.
