Why join the PBFA?

The Plant Based Foods Association consists of mission-aligned members and donors. We work to promote and remove obstacles for the plant-based foods industry, both in policy and in the marketplace. By joining our passionate community, you will help secure a fair and profitable future for plant-based foods.

Here are the top 5 reasons to join our PBFA family:

1. Grow your business’ reputation and enhance your brand. Our robust membership directory proudly displays your logo, links to your website, and is searchable by food type and location.
2. Gain a voice on Capitol Hill. We are fighting against the “Dairy Pride Act”, unfair FDA milk-labeling regulations, and more, ensuring our industry’s voice is heard loud and clear. Read more on our policy & advocacy page.
3. Participate in promotions with retailers and food service directors. Our “Fall in Love with Plant Based” promotion of 20 PBFA member brands with Lucky Supermarkets in fall of 2018 was a huge success! Watch the recap video of our successful “Fall in Love with Plant Based” campaign with Lucky.” We are creating opportunities with more retailers. For food service, we are promoting a grab-n-go concept aimed initially at college and university campuses.
4. Access to the Certified Plant Based Seal with no licensing fee. Once your application is approved by NSF International, the licensing fee for PBFA members is waived to use the “Certified Plant Based” logo.
5. Guide our Committees. Serve on our standards or policy committee, or create a new committee regarding a plant-based issue you’re passionate about.

Plus so much more: Access to our media contacts and PR strategies, exclusive access to our members-only reports and documents, and gain access to the PBFA Member Badge to display on your website and social media.
