What’s food got to do with it? Well, A LOT actually ! (But you know that by now 😉)

Our current food system is able to feed 60 billion livestock animals but not 8 billion humans. Wicked don’t you think? This means that half of the earth’s habitable land is used for agriculture, MAINLY producing food for livestock - double wicked right?

What you choose to put on your plate matters, but how much? Swipe left on the slideshow above and you’ll see 🥳

According to Europe’s science advisors, consumers shouldn’t be the only ones responsible for the shift to sustainable food consumption.

The advisors recommend a range of evidence-based measures for promoting healthy and sustainable food choices, including:

💸Pricing: There is clear evidence that direct measures are effective. This includes sugar taxes, meat taxes, and pricing products according to their environmental impacts, as well as lower taxes on healthy and sustainable alternatives. These policies must be delivered in a way that is fair, especially to people from disadvantaged backgrounds, for instance by returning tax proceeds to vulnerable citizens.

👀Availability and visibility: Healthy and sustainable food options are more frequently chosen if they are displayed in prominent places. The advertising of foods which are unhealthy or unsustainable if consumed regularly should be restricted. Voluntary codes of conduct in this area have not been effective.

🥬Composition: Reducing unhealthy fat, sugar and salt content, and adding more plant-based alternatives, can be helpful — but only if these measures are mandatory and comprehensive. The evidence shows that past voluntary agreements have had limited effect.

🏷️ Labelling: Labelling foods to show their health impacts has a low to moderate effect. There are now many such schemes, with more appearing all the time. Since the effectiveness of labels depends on consumer trust, we need clear, coherent standards to underpin them.

👯‍♀️ Social environment: Peer and social influence has been shown to be effective in improving healthy eating. Digital technologies offer further possibilities, but also pose huge risks of stimulating unhealthy and unsustainable consumption, for example through industry marketing strategies.

Achieving this is not just about implementing new policies, but also removing or changing existing policies that divert from the goals, such as subsidies for unhealthy or unsustainable food production.

There’s a gap between what science says and how much action that’s actually being put in to reach the Paris Agreement goals. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Some of the world’s leading scientists and climate leaders are more than aware of that and want to change it. They have written an open letter to the UN Secretary General António Guterres and the COP Executive Secretary to urge them to reform the COP Process. It needs to move from negotiations to DELIVERY. ⚡️

What do you think? Are the COPs efficient enough? Are our world leaders doing enough? Do you care? Let us know in the comments, we’d love to hear your thoughts! 🧠
