Sustainable Diets
We're campaigning to encourage everyone to eat a diet that's better for them and the planet.
That means:
- Less meat
- Less highly processed food
- More fruit and veg
- Eating seasonably
- Eating locally
Why is eating less meat so important?
- Meat and dairy production cause 18% of climate changing emissions
- 75% of agricultural land is used to raise animals for food - not the most efficient use
- A shift to lower-meat diets in the UK could prevent 45,000 deaths each year
What can you do?
- Eat more sustainably yourself
- Spread the word
- Why not invite 3 friends round for a low/no meat meal and share the info here along with your cooking?
- Watch this space for campaign actions
What's becoming increasingly compelling is the unavoidable fact that eating less meat is better for the planet.
