What if we told you that the agri-food sector is among the most impacting on pollution globally?
Here are some causes:
- Eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems and intensive water consumption
- Euthorophization of the soil
- About one third of global greenhouse gas emissions.
- Loss of biodiversity
When it comes to climate change, we often don't know where to start to help our planet.
What we eat has an impact that depends on the production processes, the kilometers traveled and the type of packaging used.
But how can we understand the impact of our spending?
How to compare two similar products from an environmental point of view?
Since 2020 we at Kitchen FootPrint have been studying the environmental impact of food products available in stores.
Thanks to our algorithms, we are able to evaluate with a good approximation the carbon dioxide equivalent (GWP10o), the water consumption and to give an indication on the sustainability of the packaging.
To do this, we use databases that allow us to know all the necessary information on ingredients and nutritional values of food products on the market, combining them with the average data relating to
emissions associated with the production processes, the origin of the ingredients, the average journey of the products ..
Help us to help the Planet by using our APP to acquire the data of the food products you buy and if you find one that is not present in our archives report it to us, we will add it.
The Planet thanks you!
