Report Suggests Indian Dietary Practices Could Hold Key To Mitigating Climate Change

Indian sustainable eating habits, such as limiting food waste, prioritizing vegetarian diets, and consuming locally sourced foods, can play a crucial role in addressing global climate change. According to a report by the World Wide Fund for Nature, India’s food consumption patterns are the most climate-friendly among G20 nations. The country’s emphasis on plant-based diets and climate-resilient crops like millets has gained popularity, with 79% of Indians considering sustainability when purchasing food. The government has also introduced initiatives like the National Millet Campaign to promote environmentally sustainable practices. By adopting traditional dietary practices and focusing on climate-friendly diets, India can contribute to addressing global environmental and health challenges.
