A look at the impacts of our food system on the climate, the environment and animals, and some of the easy solutions we can adopt to reverse the damage.

Our food system is spelling disaster for us, the animals and the planet. Numerous scientific studies are pointing us to solutions in which we can all play a role.

So many benefits to shifting our diets — from preserving biodiversity to reducing deadly air pollution — no wonder public sentiment is changing. These stories and more in our Feb edition.

What if the climate costs of meat and dairy were reflected in their prices? A new study has done the calculations and the results might surprise you. Would this encourage us to make greener choices at the grocery store? Also, a new book offers compelling reasons for changing our food system.

The pandemic and the climate crisis have made the need to transform our food system even more urgent. Are we making progress? The answer is clearly yes, but there’s still much to be done.

Even as the pandemic worsens, ways to avoid many of our current predicaments — including climate change — present themselves to us every day. But, will we take action?
