Empowering Biodiversity through Food Choices
“While climate change is among the biggest challenges we need to address as a global society, it’s not the only one – we are also facing the sixth mass extinction in our planet’s history.1 And this time round, the extinction event is being caused by human activity. What we eat has a massive impact on biodiversity.”
