Food Choices for a Healthy Planet helps you learn more about the impact your food choices make on your health, your national healthcare system, the environment, climate change, and culture.
The game was produced by a food system solutions accelerator led by The Lexicon. It features nutrition and climate change experts from across the globe. The group looked at diets in four regions, each with a distinct lens: Nordic Countries (sustainability), Brazil (local and whole foods instead of ultra-processed foods); Canada (plant-forward), and Indonesia (developing countries, children).
Instead of using a prescriptive approach and offering a single perspective for global diets that could be translated to fit the needs of individual countries, the team has developed a country-first perspective, recognizing that each country has distinct cultural, economic, historical, and agricultural capacities to feed itself. From that starting point, the group created the game to bring greater awareness to the impacts that personal food choices have on not only our own health but also the environment and the cultures in which we live.
