The arena of sustainability is a complex one – and oversimplifying it by encouraging our clients to eat less animal foods and more plant foods is not the answer. Instead of nitpicking single foods or food groups, the most powerful ways our clients can eat more sustainably are by avoiding overconsumption and minimising food waste. In this podcast, Dr Joanna McMillan dives into new sustainability research that combines the environmental and nutritional qualities of different foods in the Australian diet into one score. Jo highlights that it is more than possible to have a sustainable, nutritious diet that incorporates foods from all food groups, so we can make real, meaningful inroads to better the health of our clients and the planet.
