Many believe that achieving sustainable eating requires drastic measures. However, recent research highlighted in the UK’s The Guardian reveals that small dietary adjustments can also lead to substantial environmental benefits (https://lnkd.in/dDhEtdUU). Considering that food systems are a major contributor to global environmental degradation, responsible for 70% of global freshwater use, 38% of land area, and one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, this stark reality underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive transformation in how we produce, transport, retail, and consume food. Bärbel Weiligmann, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)’s Workforce Nutrition Programme Lead, said, “Employers are the catalysts of change in this crucial transition. By championing and embedding healthier food in canteens, they can significantly reduce the environmental impact of diets, particularly in high-income countries. These initiatives not only foster a healthier and more productive workforce, but they elevate the company's stature as a visionary and socially responsible leader. Such efforts stand as a testament to their commitment and can be proudly documented in #ESG frameworks.” Join the Workforce Nutrition Alliance's September 2024 Masterclass cohort starting on 18 September to learn how to improve #WorkforceNutrition at your worksite.
