What they do
Gentle World is a vegan-education nonprofit based on Maui, Hawaiʻi. Founded 40+ years ago. Founding members “became vegan more than 50 years ago, before they even knew there was a word for it” — placing the organization’s origins in the early 1970s, before the term “vegan” had broad cultural currency in the United States.
The operation is all-volunteer. Activities:
- Vegan education through online publishing, recipe collections, advocacy materials
- Outreach to those interested in adopting plant-based diets
- Recipe development and dissemination — published vegan recipe collections
Why it’s listed
The specific filter is historical-founding-vegan-institution. The contemporary plant-based food movement frames veganism as a recent dietary trend, but Gentle World’s continuous 40+ year operation predates the modern movement by decades. Founding members were practicing vegan ethics in the 1970s — [[directory|the directory]]‘s [[vegan]] concept hub exists in part to recognize this lineage, and Gentle World is one of the institutions that carried the practice through the decades when it was culturally marginal.
Bioregional fit
Maui, Hawaiian Islands. The directory doesn’t yet have a Hawaiian-Islands bioregion stub; a future curator could add one (Hawaiʻi / Maui Nui).
