ProVeg International’s Galatanu Says People Need ‘a Sustainable and Low Carbon Diet’

EXCERPT:

GALATANU: “According to the FAO's latest state of food security and nutrition in the world report, nearly 2.7 billion people don't have, can't afford a healthy diet, despite the numbers of chronic hunger slowly declining, but affordability is only one part of the story. Whether people have a healthy diet, and if I might add, also a sustainable and low-carbon diet, given that we are at a climate change conference, also depends on what is available near them, what is grown by the farmers, what is sold, what is served by schools and hospitals, what is subsidized, as Chiara mentioned, but also their culture and habits, and much more. A food system that really works, wants to work for the people, and the planet needs to work from the field all to the plate.”
