Hello Dear Instructor Marine and my dear classmates
Welcome to week one Discussion
Before I discuss about the assignment allow me define the following
According to WHO states that” Nutrition is a critical part of health and development
Food sustainability means producing food in a way that protects the environment, makes
efficient use of natural resources, ensures that farmers.
Below are some of the steps that I have taken to help in building a sustainable food system
in the community.
Eat a “low-carbon diet.” This is one where the foods that you eat require less
energy and fuel to produce, process, and distribute than other foods.
Have a garden at home and join a network of home gardeners.
Buy local food—make at least 10 percent of your food purchases local and share what you
know about local food with friends and family
.
When purchasing foods, choose the ones with less packaging.
Support state initiatives that support local farmers and build infrastructure to sell more
healthy food.(LibreTexts,n.d).
Eating Local : If your food originates close to where you live, it requires less energy to
transport it to you, and refrigerate it on its way.
Eat Seasonally: This goes hand in hand with eating locally, since what's in season locally
will naturally match the season you're in.
Eat More Variety: Increasing the diversity of what you eat promotes diversity in agriculture,
which in turn is better for the environment.
Reduce food waste by planning meals and shopping what is needed.(Danilo, 2023).
