What are food miles, and are they worth obsessing over? The carbon footprint of a food is made up of many things, and the way it is transported can be a big part of this calculation, particularly if it has been flown to us.

Choosing the greenest food option in all the noise can be really overwhelming, but one thing is clear: eating seasonally is a great and safe choice.

A greener basket is often a cheaper one, and so reducing the carbon footprint of your weekly shop is something well worth giving a go!

From deciding what to swap, to figuring out how to cook new ingredients, making greener food choices can be easy!

Some foods are greener than others, but how much greener is one food compared to another, exactly? Can we put a number on it? It turns out that we can, and people have, but it’s much more complicated to do than you might think.

In an effort to live more sustainably, choosing to focus on food can lead to massive carbon savings in a manageable, achievable and fun way.
