Food is at the heart of one of the biggest challenges of our time – how do we feed and nourish a growing population while managing the accelerated environmental degradation of our planet?
Amidst growing global health concerns and an urgent demand for sustainable practices, the food system finds itself at the heart of some of the most pressing challenges of our time. It not only affects the health of our population but also contributes significantly to the health of the planet.
Rising rates of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and malnutrition, coupled with overarching issues like climate change, deforestation, and food waste, pose serious threats to both current and future generations. If we continue to produce, supply, and consume food in the same way, it is projected that we would require the resources of three Planets equivalent to Earth to feed the worlds growing population. To tackle these global health crises, a transition towards sustainable nutrition solutions and practices is imperative.
