What we all eat not only impacts our own health but also the health of the planet. So if you want to eat a sustainable diet, one that is healthy for you and the planet, what should you do?
This is where it gets tricky. There are no black and white answers as to what is good and what is bad. It depends on where, when and how the food is produced, how it is transported, how much is wasted (either along the supply chain or in your own home), whether you are trying to eat with as little environmental impact as possible or with the greatest social benefit for those who produce the food and so on and so on.
What is very clear though is the need for some changes. After all, if everyone lived (and ate) as we do in the UK we would need three planets to support us. A bit of a problem when we only have one available. And the one that we have is not in the best of shape - we are facing significant global challenges - climate change, water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, just to name a few.
We want to make sure that we are doing everything we can to lower the impacts associated with making our products, whilst at the same time ensuring that they taste great and are healthy for you. Getting this balance right between impact and nutrition underpins our entire sustainability strategy.
We are also working to add value to current thinking regarding sustainable diets with a variety of interesting charitable partners. More to follow on this next year...
