Pledges for individuals:

Eat together. Gather for mealtimes to sit and share good food in good company
Eat more plant based meals each week. Enjoy locally grown seasonal fruit and veg. What's healthy for the climate is healthy for us
Plan meals and use up leftovers. Save money by cutting food waste, redistribute surplus nutritious food, compost or recycle unavoidable food waste
Avoid or recycle packaging. Keep a reusable shopping bag to hand
Get to know labels. Make informed choices on the impact of food, from protecting workers (fairtrade) to responsibly sourced palm oil (RSPO), and check for high salt, fat and sugar

Breastfeed if it’s right for you. It has health and environmental beneﬁts and saves money. Support is available from health visitors, midwives and the Breastfeeding Network
