As we observe #WorldFoodDay 2024, Paul Behrens emphasises the importance of a Great Food Transformation to address the environmental impact of food systems. He outlines three key pillars: dietary changes, reducing food waste, and shifting to environmentally friendly production. In high-income countries, like the UK, a dietary shift could free up agricultural land to combat climate change and environmental damage, leading to cleaner air, healthier soils, and greater biodiversity. By embracing this transformation, we can build resilient, sustainable food systems.
