A Recipe for Change: A bite of carbon peak and carbon neutrality

Translated by Richard

Abstract: Carbon emissions from food production, consumption and waste cannot be ignored, and their impact on climate change need to be paid attention to. Meanwhile, the impact of climate change on food security is growing globally, especially in developing countries. Therefore, it is particularly important to study and improve the carbon emissions produced by food for carbon reduction. The book Cookbook in Support of the United Nations by Earlene Cruz and the Kitchen Connection Alliance, in collaboration with the United Nations, contains 75 sustainable recipes from around the world, to help individuals, farms and food companies to take more sustainable practices with food. However, sustainable diet is sometimes not so popular, for instance, during the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (UNFCCC COP26) in 2021, sustainable food was not so well-received. Although these diets mean less carbon emissions, they still cannot satisfy people’s pursuit of delicious food. It can be seen that food carbon reduction has a long way to go, and how to balance sustainability and deliciousness is believed to have great potential in the future.

Key words: Climate change, climate action, carbon reduction, sustainable diet
