During the Covid-19 pandemic, Save The Children estimate that almost a third of parents on low incomes in the UK have had to cut back on food for themselves or their children. Our food systems, globally, add an estimated 25% of greenhouse gas emissions that are contributing significantly to the climate emergency (Carbon Brief 2020). And around the world millions of people, whether underfed or overfed, are unarguably mal-nourished.
What can we do differently to alleviate hunger and improve healthy eating within planetary boundaries? How do we achieve sustainable nourishment globally, in Scotland, and in our own homes? What will it take to have thriving people on a thriving planet?
And finally, what changes can we make individually to alter the production and consumption of food? Is veganism, vegetarianism or even flexitarianism a choice for you to eat more sustainably?
