Our story
Our quest for making a change drove us towards deep questions to better understand the world we live in. What informs the way we view the world? How do we bring about lasting positive change? Our curiosity leapt us into the space of lifestyle and lead ultimately to the creation of Piece of Plate.
When diving head first into lifestyle, food and the connection to sustainability, one quickly confronts the vast amount noise surrounding these topics. We believe that translating knowledge into climate action requires a reckoning with the fact that food is so much more than what we see on our plates. Food is love, care, health, impact, vitality, life and part of culture. Food connects us all.
Why we do what we do
Sustainable lifestyle with a smile
Piece of Plate founder, Réka Gugán strives to democratise sustainable lifestyle in a digestible and enjoyable way. Armed with a cheerful attitude and a solid academic background, she works to challenge the ways we take for granted, and cultivate habits that matter.
She is driven by the abundance of opportunities to make a positive impact. Both on the individual and collective level. Her objective is to lift this knowledge out of university lecture halls and conferences, and to make it accessible, affordable and gratifying to everybody.
Sustainable lifestyle need not be radical, nor should it be judgmental. It should be human, as humans are in the center of it.
Our five leading principles
We strive to eat with the local seasons to minimise energy demand of food production and transportation.
We strive to support local producers with lesser environmental footprint and shorter distances of transport.
We strive to maximise plant based ingredients on our plates with respect to sentient beings. Better for our health and Mama Earth's too!
We strive to democratise a planetary lifestyle in an accessible and affordable manner. We believe that human and planetary health should not depend on your resume nor your bank account.
We strive to uphold a positive message and create solutions rather than problems. We dropped the shaming & blaming culture at the Piece of Plate doorsteps. We build bridges, not walls.
Superheroes
At Piece of Plate, we believe in the power of community and lifting each other up. We are friends first, colleagues after. In addition to caring about the future of the planet, we care about each other and about you. Meet Piece of Plate’s superheroes who are always there to save the day. Without their superpowers Piece of Plate would seize to exist.
