Darina Allen: Use up every last scrap of food in these tasty recipes
This week’s column will focus on sustainable food and how each of us can do our bit to make a difference. The question of what we should eat to combat climate change and environmental degradation has never been more urgent. However, the term sustainable has become quite a buzzword, bandied around and abused in many different contexts — all very confusing.
Having a better understanding of what makes food sustainable could help us all to make more informed food choices. Sustainable food is not just about the food itself, it’s a combination of factors. How it’s produced, distributed, packaged and consumed (or wasted). Sustainable farming practices, environmental impact, animal welfare, biodiversity, working conditions and a living wage are all factors.
