"You might think eating more sustainably requires drastic changes, such as
shifting to a vegan diet. While a plant-based diet is undeniably good for the
Earth, our new research shows modest changes to your eating habits can also
have significant environmental benefits.
We assessed how food products on Australian supermarket shelves stack up
against key environmental indicators, such as carbon emissions and water use.
We found swapping the most environmentally harmful foods for more sustainable
options within the same food group, such as switching from beef burgers to
chicken burgers, can significantly reduce carbon emissions – by up to 96% in
some instances.
The last thing we want to do is take the pleasure away from eating. Instead, we
want to help consumers make realistic dietary changes that also help ensure a
sustainable future. So read on to find out which simple food swaps can best
achieve this."
