With planetary boundaries and global goals as a foundation, we will take a closer look at and discuss our food consumption - an issue that affects us all and where individual choices affect green issues. Our food consumption affects the climate crisis, biodiversity, access to clean water, emissions, overfertilization, deforestation and much more. In what ways can we make a difference?
