Food & Nature
Overview
The food we eat and how we grow it is a major driver of climate change. In this workshop, we invite you to rethink the way we view food and explore how we can move towards restorative and climate-friendly diets and food systems.
Learnings
- Rethinking the way we view food and where it comes from.
- What do food labels tell us about the key ingredients in our favourite foods?
- What are the health benefits of a balanced and nutritious diet?
- How and where is food grown and processed today?
- Why is there a need for our current food systems to change?
Post Event Actions
- Be mindful of where food comes from and how it is produced.
- Plan ahead when buying food and groceries so as to minimise food waste.
- Choose healthier and more climate-friendly food choices (e.g. more vegetarian meals).
