The Vegetarian Association of France, better known as the AVF, is a non-profit organization that has been working for several decades to encourage and support the transition to a plant-based diet.
It is for all people who wish to adopt a diet that is more respectful of animals, the environment and their health, whether they are vegetarian, vegan or simply curious.
AVF today brings together several thousand members and volunteers across France. Its team carries out numerous actions to inform, raise awareness, and make plant-based food accessible to everyone. The association is independent of any political or religious movement, which allows it to maintain an open and inclusive approach.
Strong and ethical values
The values of AVF are based on respect for animals, the preservation of the environment and the promotion of a sustainable lifestyle. Far from adopting a moralizing tone, it advocates kindness and gradual progress. Every gesture counts: reducing your consumption of animal-derived products, discovering new plant-based recipes, choosing an ethical wardrobe, or supporting engaged initiatives.
Complementary branches to support the transition :
AVF acts through several action branches that cover all levers of change:
- Inform : thanks to its scientific committees and its magazine ViraGe, the association shares reliable resources on nutrition, health and ecology.
- Accompany : through programs like « 1·2·3 Veggie », the V-Label or still its branch Végécantines, which promotes the introduction of vegetarian meals in collective catering.
- Mobilize : AVF runs a national network of local groups that organize events, workshops and tastings throughout the year to share the joys of simple, friendly and tasty plant-based cooking.
-
Drive change :
through its Vegepolitics branch, it acts with decision-makers and carries out advocacy work to transform food practices on a large scale.
AVF also offers its members discounts at several partner shops, in the fields of food, cosmetics and fashion, like Zebra Vegan Shop!
A reference for a positive transition
AVF’s work is part of a global movement: that of food transition. Eating more plant-based helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, preserve natural resources and of course respect animals.
Thanks to its educational and caring approach, AVF shows that it is possible to change habits without constraints, with pleasure and creativity.
Zebra Vegan Shop and AVF: the same commitment
At Zebra Vegan Shop, we fully share these values and are proud to be partners of the Vegetarian Association of France. Like them, we believe that a vegan lifestyle can be at the same time ethical, aesthetic and inspiring.
Support AVF, this means encouraging a positive and accessible food transition, evolving your consumption in different areas, and participating in building a more sustainable future.
Thanks to its commitment, rigor and kindness, AVF is today a reference for all those who wish to discover or deepen their knowledge of plant-based eating and an animal-friendly lifestyle. A useful, inspiring and essential association to support change.
