People in the US: how do you eat a climate-friendly diet on a budget? | Food

Tackling the climate crisis will require us to think more carefully about what we eat, since our food system accounts for up to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions.

The best option, according to scientists who developed a climate-friendly food plan several years ago, is to eat more vegetables, legumes and whole grains, and cut back on meat and dairy. Despite the planetary – and health – benefits of this diet, it’s not always easy to eat this way, especially given soaring food prices and lack of accessibility in many parts of the US.

So we want to hear from people in the US about how you’re eating a climate-friendly diet on a budget, and what other challenges you face in eating this way.
