Exciting news! Healthcare professionals across the UK are calling for healthier, plant-rich meals in hospitals 🌿🌍 Over 20 organizations and more than 1,000 health professionals have signed an open letter to the NHS health leaders calling for plant-rich meals to become the default meal choice in healthcare facilities, supported by The term "plant-rich" is critical - as illustrated in the #Coolfood Food Service Playbook - this isn't about going vegan. Animal products remain on the menu, but they are no longer the star of show. Instead, the focus will shift to nutritious fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains that are proven to support human health. Alongside Greener by Default, Coolfood supported a similar hospital initiative in New York that has seen a 36% reduction in food-related emissions, a 90% satisfaction rate among patients, and cost savings of 59 cents per meal. It's a win-win for patients, planet, and pocketbooks! Read the letter: https://lnkd.in/evkVt4rE

Did you know that food production is responsible for as much as 25% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Shifting towards more plant-rich foods can make a substantial difference. That’s why we've teamed up with the World Resources Institute (WRI) to bring the Coolfood Pledge to healthcare facilities across Europe. Together, we are committed to cutting GHG emissions linked to food served in healthcare facilities and reducing its impact on the climate. Through the Coolfood Pledge, participants have the opportunity to: 🌱 Adopt science-based reduction targets for food-related emissions. 🌱 Track, calculate, and reduce their emissions. 🌱 Access best practices and support. 🌱 Receive personalised feedback. Ten healthcare facilities across Europe – representing 9 million meals annually – have already signed the Coolfood Pledge so far, reducing food-related GHG emissions by 7% per plate since 2015.
