Sustainable eating involves eating food that’s good for you, good for the planet and good for your community.
On June 18 each year, the world marks Sustainable Gastronomy Day.
Sustainable gastronomy is about eating food that is good for you, good for the planet and good for your community.
But it can be easier said than done to simultaneously optimise the health, environmental and cultural components of our diets, particularly in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
Luckily research can help, from better educating us about what makes a food choice eco-friendly and how returning to more ancient foods can be more sustainable, to using mathematical models to optimise our diets.
