Sustainable eating, eating in simple words, is eating in a way that supports long -term welfare, reduces waste and has a small environmental effect. It is reportedly important, more than three billion people are malnourished and many of us eat diets that are low in quality.
The world’s population is rapidly expanding and it is estimated that by 2050 there will be 10 billion people on our planet. Therefore, when considering permanent food development, the goal should ensure that in the future, high quality, nutritious foods are available enough food to eat and reach.
According to the FAO, permanent diets are protective and respectable of biodiversity and ecosystems, culturally acceptable, accessible, economically fair and inexpensive, nutritious enough, safe and healthy, while optimizing natural and human resources.
In an interview with HT lifestyle, clinical nutritionist Prachi Chandra at Sakra World Hospital in Bengaluru suggested that a person can contribute to durable food by developing the following points in his daily routine –
1) Eat more of plant-based foods
Foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes (such as beans and lentils), nuts and whole grains are beneficial for both health and environment. Foods like avocado, oat, blueberry, quinoa, all pulses, broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, sweet-potatoes, etc. have low green-house gas emissions and low carbon footprints and are environmentally friendly.
2) Prefer to eat seasonal, locally grown, organic, home-ripened food
This will reduce carbon footprint. Seasonal foods are usually fresh, nutritious and more inexpensive. Food can also be grown in your kitchen garden.
3) Food plan
To reduce food waste, plan in advance of food and buy whatever is necessary.
4) Choose Permanent Animal Products
Include meat, eggs and fish that are environmentally grown and harvested.
5) Eat carefully and in moderation
This helps maintain a healthy weight and reduce overall health consumption of resources.
6) Do not buy food products that are served in plastic or stored and sold in cheap quality packaging
Plastic has infiltrated our natural world and even our diets. When you shop, bring a re-purpose-bag, opt for packaging-free fruits and vegetables where possible use paper /re-rich bags. While ordering food at home, reject straws and plastic bags and plastic silver utensils and additional napkins.
7) When you remember eating outside, remember not to say buffet
Foods displayed outside the shops/restaurants are not wooed.
8) Order small parts
Share an appellative or food with your spouse or children, if the parts are too large.
9) Pack and eat your remaining later
You can also bring your own reusable container.
