Climate change - food and farming
About food and farming
It is generally accepted that food-production methods and patterns of consumption need to change to support national and local strategies to achieve zero carbon. Recommendations for eating more sustainably include:
- Minimising the consumption of meat and dairy products which have a higher carbon footprint than plant-based foods
- Eating food that is locally produced and in season to avoid unnecessary transportation
- Choosing products that reduce the need for packaging, particularly plastics
For more information on how you can change your diet to help climate change, please visit climate change food calculator: What's your diets carbon footprint? (bbc.co.uk)
Dietary tips towards zero carbon will be published soon.
