Why focus on sustainability in food?
In the battle against climate change, the contribution of our food consumption has long been neglected. However, food accounts for over a quarter (26%) of global greenhouse emissions. A few examples of the environmental impact of our food are given below. But, we are able to turn this around. Making small changes in your eating behavior can reduce your carbon footprint significantly!
