Why Food and Sustainability Matter
Food and sustainability matter because they are at the heart of our health, environment, and future. What we eat and how we source it impacts everything from our personal well-being to the planet’s ecosystems. Embracing sustainable practices ensures we protect natural resources, reduce waste, and create a food system that supports both current and future generations.
