Sustainable food, what does it means?

It is a food healthy for consumers. It is a food produced (and distributed) in an environmental friendly, socially responsible,  and economic fair, way

Food systems are at the heart of at least 12 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

How can we assess food sustainability?

A comprehensive global sustainability assessment of national food systems takes into account multiple domains of interest such as nutrition, environment, economic, social, and resilience.

We focus our attention only in one aspect: food transport

Try to answer these questions:

Where does your food come from?
How the food has been transported and even packaged?
Do you buy all your cooking ingredients from the super market or do you also buy food from the local farmer‘s market?
Do you eat foods that are locally produced?
Do you grow vegetables in your garden?
Do you eat foods that are in season?
