Showcooking of plant-based food, to promote a more sustainable diet.

According to EAT Lancet – Healthy Food Accessible to All, food systems are not only victims of climate change. They are also one of its main causes. In fact, food production is responsible for a significant part of global greenhouse gas emissions. For example, meat production, especially beef, has a very high environmental footprint, contributing to methane emissions and the destruction of ecosystems. Integrated into the Lisbon Eco-Polytechnic Week and celebrating World Earth Day, the Desafio Vegetariano (Vegetarian Challenge), showed us a way to promote a more sustainable diet supported by a plant-based food.
