Every year, Veganuary inspires us to experiment with a whole roster of weird and wonderful diets. Vegetarianism and veganism are well established, but the newer players – flexitarian, climatarian and now even the reducetarian diet – all put more emphasis on the impact our food choices have on the health of the planet.
And it’s not without reason.
In the UK alone, we annually waste 9.5m tonnes of food , costing us £19bn a year . The land that is needed to produce the amount of food we waste is the equivalent to an area larger than Wales. Hard-hitting stuff!
