'Try to cook and eat fresh, local, seasonal and unprocessed fruit and vegetables for a planet-friendly meal'
How is the project linked to climate change and sustainability?
A more plant-based diet is a key requirement for becoming more sustainable in our food production. The Foody Game helps people find out the benefits of a whole range of fruit and vegetables and will hopefully enable them to make positive choices in terms of their own health and that of the planet. In a world where there is a huge increase in processed vegetarian food from across the globe, this project enables people to consider what is fresh and unprocessed. Co-op Sole is also a supplier of organic produce which in turn is a more sustainable method of prduction.
Who is involved?
This project is freely available to anyone of the Co-op Sole website. It is available to families and can also be used in schools to enable pupils to learn about health and nutrition from fruit and vegetables.
