This changed my perspective! What you eat matters more than where it's from.

Study: 83% of food's carbon footprint is production, only 11% is transport. Local beef has higher footprint than imported lentils. Eating plant-based matters more than eating local. Though local + plant-based is ideal!

Shipping vegetables by boat is surprisingly low-carbon compared to producing meat.

I focus on plant-based first, local second. Both are important but production has bigger impact.
