The Vision

In 2025, Meatless Monday Sri Lanka (MMSL) and SLYCAN Trust launched the Compendium of Plant-based Protein Sources to reshape how we eat.

Building on this foundation, we're hosting a practical session in collaboration with Curry O' Clock. We believe that sustainable eating shouldn't just be an idea—it should be a delicious reality on your plate.

This event brings together culinary entrepreneurs, climate practitioners, and food lovers to explore the intersection of nutrition, innovation, and local flavors.
