What will I learn from this webinar?

The talk will clarify common concerns, address key nutrients, and empower parents and professionals with evidence based strategies to support healthy growth and development in vegan children.
- Discover what recent studies reveal about the health and nutritional status of vegan children—challenging common myths and showing how their diets often meet official recommendations better than those of non-vegan peers.
- Understand the key nutritional considerations for raising healthy plant-based children, including essential nutrients and common misconceptions.
- Learn practical strategies to meet children’s dietary needs without complicated planning or supplementation overload.
