Finland’s new national nutritional guidelines promotes benefits of plant-based foods
Published 3/20/2025

Finland has joined countries including Denmark and the Netherlands in acknowledging the health and environmental risks of diets over reliant on animal-sourced foods, with new national guidelines encouraging a reduction in consumption of beef, lamb and pork. Furthermore, it has raised the suggested daily intake of vegetables from 500g to 500-800g.

This week, on 24 March, the third book from Philip Lymbery, Global CEO of Compassion in World Farming, Sixty Harvests Left will be published in Finland. The book, first published in the UK in 2022, has since gone on to touch all corners of the globe, and been reviewed in The New York Times and The Telegraph amongst many other publications. The book paints a vivid picture of the climate, nature and health emergencies humankind faces, but presents solutions that have a regenerative, nature-positive farming focus on soil and the interconnectedness of all life on our planet.
Dr Jane Goodall DBE urges people to read this 'beautifully written book’. It is available in Finland from Into Publishing. Global stockists can be found here.
