Healthy family recipes can help to save the planet
People who take the time to create healthy family recipes can help the planet, according to one expert, who said that abiding by a considered diet can reduce the amount of gases released into the atmosphere.
Mark Driscoll, head of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) UK's One Planet Food project, said that families around the country need to consider what they are eating before they come up with recipes.
"The impact of food consumption on the planet is a complicated area, which has long been oversimplified creating a polarised debate on the merits, or not, of vegetarian, vegan and meat-based diets," he stated.
Mr Driscoll added that action needs to be taken so that the UK reduces its greenhouse gas emissions by 70 per cent before 2050.
Switching from red to white meat would cut emissions by nine per cent but would increase our reliance on soy products substantially and could increase the amount of arable land needed for farming in the UK, according to the WWF.
