Muse School Encourages Plant-Based Diet from a Solar Power Kitchen

— April 23, 2016 — Eco
The Muse School in Los Angeles, California, is perhaps one of the most sustainable restaurants in the world -- at least according the Green Restaurant Association. The private school cooks meals in a kitchen run by solar power while the ingredients are grown right on the property. Those ingredients? All vegetarian, which encourages a plant-based only diet.

Cofounder Rebecca Amis of the Muse School says, "We're an environmental school. We thought, we can't call ourselves environmental if we continue to eat meat and dairy." Although the system currently in place took a couple of years to fully instate, the difficulties were unavoidable. Dubbed OMD or "one meal a day for the planet," the Muse School's program has expanded to many of the student's homes as well, showing its beneficial influence.
Trend Themes
1. Solar Power Kitchens - The adoption of solar power in restaurant kitchens offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the food service industry to reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainability.
2. Plant-based Diets - The growing popularity of plant-based diets presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the food industry to create and market innovative vegetarian and vegan food products.
3. Sustainable School Initiatives - The implementation of sustainable practices in school cafeterias provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for the education sector to teach and inspire students about environmental responsibility and healthy eating habits.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - The emergence of solar-powered kitchens opens up a disruptive innovation opportunity for the renewable energy industry to provide more sustainable and efficient energy solutions for the food service sector.
2. Plant-based Food - The growth of plant-based diets creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for the food industry to develop and market a wide range of plant-based food products that cater to the increasing demand for vegetarian and vegan options.
3. Education - The integration of sustainable practices in school cafeterias presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the education industry to foster environmental consciousness and teach students about the importance of sustainable food systems.
