How can food choices help save the earth?

  • Every apple grown locally saves gasoline, packaging, and refrigerated transport.

  • Every time you buy heritage fruits, vegetables, and grains, you are helping to preserve precious biodiversity.

  • Every meal without meat reduces the use of pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones, and frees up land to grow more food for more people.

The "food revolution" (as author John Robbins calls it) is part of this great change, a shift away from chemical, industrial, manufactured food to natural, healthful food that is good for person and planet. It’s a full-fledged movement, made up of chefs, farmers, journalists, healthcare professionals, grocers, activists – and millions of people who want food that is healthy for themselves and the earth.

Here are two things you could do:

Turn table scraps ...
into glorious dirt for growing more food!
Choose unusual foods ...
or unusual kinds of familiar foods.

In The Earth-Friendly Food Chain, you’ll find five key guidelines for making your food choices sustainable. Within each guideline are dozens of options. For example, we encourage you to choose more organic food, since that reduces the amount of pesticides in our soil and water, not to mention in the food itself! How to go organic? In the book you’ll find a chart of the foods most important to switch to first, where to find organic, how to identify truly organic food, plus another unexpected path to clean food.
