Living Your Values and Changing the World — with Jane Land, Co-Founder of Veganuary

In this episode of The Changes We Make, I’m joined by Jane Land, Co-Founder and Chair of Veganuary — the global campaign that has inspired over 25 million people to try vegan each January.

Jane began her journey as an English teacher, but a deep concern for animal welfare led her to take a bold step in a completely new direction. In 2014, together with her partner Matthew, she launched Veganuary with a simple yet powerful idea: to make it easier for people to explore a plant-based lifestyle. What started as a grassroots project has since grown into a worldwide movement that not only inspires individuals but also drives change in the food industry, sparking thousands of vegan product launches and collaborations with businesses across the globe.

In our conversation, Jane opens up about what it takes to build a movement from scratch — the doubts, the setbacks, and the resilience needed to keep going. We talk about the courage to leave behind a familiar career to follow your values, the role of hope and persistence in creating lasting change, and how small, everyday actions can ripple out to transform lives, industries, and even the planet. Jane also shares what inspires her personally, the moments that remind her why this work matters, and her vision for the future of food and sustainability.
