What each one of us puts on our plate matters. What our food consists of, whether it was grown organically and how far it has been transported are all factors that should be considered when choosing a meal. Organic, locally produced vegetarian food is better than conventionally raised beef from across the globe. High-demanding crops mean that agriculture occupies more than 35 per cent of earth’s surface, the largest use of land on the planet. Agriculture also makes use of 70 per cent of all water withdrawn from aquifers, streams and lakes. And roughly 30 per cent of the food produced is lost or wasted.
Meet persons who work with different aspects of sustainable food to share their insights and solutions.
