EAT BETTER
Food production and transportation is the second largest polluter of our planet behind the oil industry. In addition, 7.1 million tonnes of food waste is generated each year by UK households. Is there a way we can progressively reduce this and create a behaviour change in our society? After researching food systems and conducting primary research, we decided to propose a system of shopping for seasonal foods and a way to carbon offset the produce we purchase that has a negative impact on the environment.
