SUSTAINABLE FOOD BUYING

What is the long-term sustainability of our weekly food purchase?

Sustainable food buying or shopping is the conscious purchase of food products with little or no negative environmental impact. It entails buying food that is environmentally friendly in terms of quantity, content, and packaging. Sustainable grocery shopping helps to reduce the environment’s carbon footprint, conserves natural resources, and reduces waste sent to landfill.

In an age of radical food trends, increased environmental awareness, and advancing health discoveries, it’s easy to become overwhelmed when attempting to make conscious food choices. By shopping sustainably, we are choosing diverse food products that are produced locally, fresher, more nutritious, less packaging, and less processing thereby, improving our health and reducing the impact of the food we eat on our environment.
