Sustainable eating
Choosing foods that have as little impact on the environment as possible has become a hot issue lately. This idea of a sustainable food system is defined by the American Public Health Association as “one that provides healthy food to meet current food needs while maintaining healthy ecosystems that can also provide food for generations to come with minimal negative impact to the environment. A sustainable food system also encourages local production and distribution infrastructures and makes nutritious food available, accessible, and affordable to all.”
