055 | Food and Climate: The 5 Best Options

If food is going to be part of our climate solution (and it needs to be), what foods should fill our plates? Which foods are the most climate friendly? Listen in.

. . .

When it comes to doing something about climate change, your food choices matter.

Thanks for tuning in to Eating for Eden, a podcast that takes a food-first approach to climate action.

We’ve been given a beautiful garden to steward. It may seem like a small thing, but the food we eat plays a massive role in either contributing to or lessening carbon emissions.

I’m here to help you decide with intention what you’re putting on your plate and into your mouth (and thoroughly enjoy your food along the way).

. . .

Your impact goes further when you share what you’ve learned!
