Your reminder that whilst food can improve health it's not the only reason we eat. 💚 Food is also central to life itself. It’s one of life’s great pleasures. Food is how we celebrate milestones, express culture and identity. National Nutrition Foundation celebrates the many ways that food enriches our lives, and we understand the impact that our personal circumstances and our environment can have on our choices. That's why we're working to ensure all Australians can enjoy nutritious foods and drinks, and can make informed choices for themselves and the people they care for.

Ever thought about how your next plate can change the world? 🌍 You've probably heard the term 'sustainable eating' thrown around. But what does it actually mean? Simply put, sustainable eating means making mindful food choices that benefit both the environment and your health. It’s about knowing where your food comes from, what’s in it, and who you’re supporting with your purchases. It doesn't have to be hard! Try these small swaps toward more sustainable eating: 👇 🛍️ Bring your own bags and opt for loose fruit and veg (are you really still using plastic bags?) 📝 Write a list and buy only what you need to reduce food waste (maybe give online shopping a go if you're prone to impulse buys). 🥦 Consider adding one plant-based meal into your week (lentil bolognese, black bean tacos, or tofu stir-fry are great budget-friendly swaps). Our food systems and individual behaviours impact the health of the planet, and we’re all responsible for future generations. What world are we leaving them? Now that’s something to chew on. Which sustainable eating tips do you use? 👀
