Avoid using non-biodegradable packaging

The plastic and paper packaging that comes with most of the food we consume today are some of the main factors responsible for the increase in waste production on the planet.

Therefore, our suggestion is that you prioritize the consumption of fresh foods, which do not require packaging or which use their biodegradable versions.

 

Grow your own food

If you have adequate space at home, take the opportunity to make a small garden and make your food more sustainable.

There is no need to have space for large vegetable or fruit plantations. With a small space, you are already doing a huge amount of good for the planet and your food!

 

Use your food in full

Being able to enjoy everything, from the skin to the leftover bits of a food item, is key to minimizing food waste, making your diet more nutritious and, of course, saving money.

 

Promote consumption of organic food

Organic products are, as a rule, those that undergo a sustainable production scale in all its stages, minimizing damage to the environment.

By consuming organic products you are guaranteeing the sustainability of this sector and at the same time ensuring that the products you consume do not contain polluting pesticides.

 

Appreciate regional products

Choosing to buy food produced in your region is a great way to encourage local trade and avoid greater impacts on the environment, which can be caused by transport, storage and shelf life.
