‘So how, exactly, does throwing away cauliflower leaves or a pack of squishy tomatoes contribute to global warming?” asks Lindsey Harrad in her new book, Living Plantfully. “The link is more direct than you might expect. Global food waste alone is responsible for 8-10% of all greenhouse gas emissions.” If food is wasted, so are all the resources that went into producing it, including the water and land use (including any potential deforestation), animal feed, fertilisers, pesticides, processing, packaging, transportation, […]

Or, if you want to freeze the extra pesto in an ice cube tray, you can pop in a couple of cubes into any sauce you’re making to add some bright flavor. This is a great canvas recipe that’s delicious as-is and easy to make your own! […]
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February dramatically worsened the outlook for already inflated global food prices.
