Diet is the D in FED. It is intimately connected to food production and the ecological engine that we rely on to meet food demand. Here we explain more about our definition of diet...
Eating sustainably and well
You are what you eat because the human body is a complex organic engine built and fuelled by the food we consume. We need calories from fats or carbohydrates but we need nutrients too, especially essential amino acids in proteins. What we eat is personal, it determines health and wellbeing and everyone makes their own choice. But for many that choice is constrained by availability, access and knowledge. Many diets are not sustainable because they are out of balance with our biology and are pushing planetary limits.
