It’s no secret that what we eat and drink has a huge environmental impact. According to research, such as this study published in the journal Science, food production – and by this, we mean production, processing and distribution, as well as consumption – accounts for around 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
The good news is that reducing our food and drink-related impact is simpler than you might think, and making small tweaks to our diets can add up, resulting in real change for the planet. It’s not just about eating more plants, either – although there's no denying that that can be a great place to start.
