How to Prioritize Sustainability in Your Diet

Food is responsible for around 30% of greenhouse gas emissions globally, and if we don’t take action this number is predicted to grow, so we’re looking ahead to make sure we meet our climate targets.

Sustainable eating is about choosing foods that are good for you, the farmers, the environment, the economy, and society. Sustainable eating also takes into account all the consequences of agriculture and food in the environment, such as water usage and soil fertility.

Holistic goals that require change for our client are not going to happen overnight but we can usually organize a complete strategy for clients within the first couple of sessions.
