We all have in common that we are human and call this planet our home.
However, the planet as we know it won’t remain as it is forever, unless we, as 8 billion human beings, work collectively to look after it. One of the ways we can do this is through our food choices, as that affects food systems, a significant contributor to the state of the planet.
In this episode, I bring Jayden Ordner back for a second episode to talk about how we can make dietary choices that will not only improve our own health and longevity, but also for our planet.
Jayden shares a lot of eye-opening information about how food systems affect deforestation, loss of biodiversity, water usage and greenhouse gas emissions, and provides us with tangible strategies that we can put in place if we want to preserve mother earth for all other beings and future generations.
