A Low Carbon Diet refers to making choices about food that are more sustainable and reduce the impact on global warming. There are many things that we can do to reduce the pollution caused by transporting food great distances and unsustainable farming practices.
With over half of the world population living in cities, we are much further from our food sources than a century ago.

A low carbon diet is intended to reject the fast food and value eating fresh, local food.
