Why food labels should show environmental impacts

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 8 November 2024

On yesterday's show we featured Megan Tombs from The Eating Disorder Association of New Zealand (EDANZ).

EDANZ says labelling on food packaging can have negative impacts for those living with eating disorders.  

In response to that story, we received a message...about planetary health labelling.

Planetary health labelling is food labelling, which in addition to information on things like protein, fats and carbohydrates, also contains data which can be used to calculate the environmental impact of the product over its entire life cycle. Learn more here.
