The food we eat connects us to nature, our land and our climate. From the soil that grows our crops and the pollinators that support them, to the energy and resources used to produce, transport and prepare our food, what we eat has an important part to play in the health of our environment.

Our food system also faces growing challenges. Climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation and pressures on land and water can all affect how food is produced and the natural systems we depend on.

There are many ways we can make a positive difference — from choosing more seasonal and locally produced food, to reducing food waste, supporting nature-friendly farming and finding ways to make our gardens and growing spaces more wildlife-friendly.

Below, you’ll find useful organisations, advice and sources of support to help you explore the links between food, nature and climate change, and discover practical ways to take action.
