Sustainable Eating
Food is the single most critical factor when it comes to our health. It is also critical to our planet´s health, with the food industry accounting for a third of global energy consumption and over 20 percent of emissions. All the more shocking, then, that 30% of the food we buy is thrown away, even though one-ninth of the world is going to sleep hungry each night. That is why we want to help people make better eating choices in ways that are effortless and enjoyable.
As the world’s leftovers pile up, food wastage silently eats away at our future, generating 4.4 gigatons of gas emissions across the planet each year. This urges us to re-evaluate our consumption habits and recognise food as a valuable resource.
Each year, the global food industry generates around 18 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, greatly contributing to climate change. Letting meals go to waste also squanders the resources used for processing and transporting food.
Learning about ingredients and food sources makes a big difference. Here are a few tips to help you become more conscious:
- Buy locally grown products for less miles
- Incorporate plant-based meals into your diet
- Skip processed foods with additional additives
- Buy grass-fed or pasture-raised meats
"Reduce food waste in every way we can - Inspire more plant-based eating - Minimize nutrition loss in foods - Improve the experience of eating sustainably through enhanced taste, textures and colours - Make it easy to implement all of these in everyday life"
"We always try to find better solutions for food preservation. But sustainable eating is also about changing behavior. It's about taking small steps for a bigger cause."
