Wasting food = also means wasting the resources
🏠 📊 In the EU, households generate 54% of all #FoodWaste: about 72 kg per person per year. That’s why small steps at home can make a real difference.
👉 Check your fridge before shopping, plan meals around what you have and freeze food before it spoils.

Here's a kitchen trick you'll want to try. 🤫
Next time you make chilli, bolognese or tacos, swap half the beef for lentils or beans. More #fibre, better for the planet, and most people won't even notice!

No meat, no protein, no strength? Not quite. 💪
Most of us already eat plenty of #protein, and a varied diet with pulses, tofu, nuts, seeds, whole grains, eggs & dairy can cover our needs. Many top athletes eat little or no meat and still perform at their best.

Eating more sustainably doesn't have to mean giving up meat.
🍗🍖 Chicken & pork have much lower greenhouse-gas emissions than beef, so swapping beef for either can already cut your meal's climate impact. Swap it for beans or peas and you'll lower it even more.

Small dietary shifts can make a huge difference!
Just replacing some meat, particularly beef and processed meat, with more legumes and other plant foods can substantially reduce dietary greenhouse gas emissions, water and land use while supporting health.

Whether your food is in season often matters more than whether it grew nearby. 🍅
A tomato grown locally but out of season, in a heated greenhouse, can use more energy than one grown in season farther away.
#Cook4Climate tip: go local AND seasonal.

Is buying local always the greener choice? Not necessarily! 🌍
Most food greenhouse gas emissions come from production, not transport. So a meal built around vegs and legumes usually beats a meat-based one, even if that meat was produced nearby.
