Deep dives
The Role of Restaurants in Climate Action
Restaurants have the potential to play a significant role in addressing climate change, yet this is often overlooked. The restaurant industry traditionally focuses on profitability through consumption, but by embracing regenerative agricultural practices, it can become part of the climate solution. The realization that most of a restaurant's carbon footprint stems from the food it serves highlights the need for sustainable practices. Instead of merely reducing waste, there is a call for transforming the food system to support methods that renew rather than exhaust natural resources.
