Healthy, Just, and Eco-conscious Food Choices

The environmental impact of our current food processes is undeniable. Food systems are responsible for 34% of global GHG emissions. Commonly, when we learn about the effects of our food on the environment, we discuss three topics: veganism, packaging, and waste. There straightforward ways of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions are following a more plant-based diet, improving food packaging (whether that is by reducing the amount of packaging or using more eco-conscious materials), or simply wasting less food (only buying what you need).
