What we eat has a large impact on our environment. Our global food system is responsible for 25-30% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This includes growing and producing food, as well as processing, packaging and transporting foods all over the world.
Since everyone eats, we are all part of this food system. That means we can also make food choices that help our planet. Luckily, many foods that support our health are also climate friendly.
Food choices make a big impact on your health and the environment. It can be overwhelming to think about, but start where you can. Pick one small change and try to stick with it.
