The conversation around a more sustainable food system can be complex and nuanced, but there is plenty we can do to help support environmental efforts.
While opting for lower-carbon footprint foods plays a pivotal role in reducing our environmental impact, other dietary strategies can help us take environmental action one step further. Avoiding air-freighted foods, reducing food waste, embracing “wonky” produce, being a climate citizen, utilizing less plastic, eating seasonally, using a carbon calculator, opting for low-carbon livestock, growing our own food, and cutting back on meat and dairy are some of the many strategies for tackling our global environmental concerns.
