Sustainable nutrition: Tips from the consumer advice center for a climate-friendly diet
According to a report by www.l-iz.de,
At the 88th Green Week in Berlin, the consumer advice centers gave tips on how consumers can make their diet more sustainable. They informed that every product has a different greenhouse balance, depending on the type of food, its production and transport. One example that visitors were able to experience was the carbon footprint of a burger, which varies depending on the ingredients used. In addition, those interested could test their knowledge of sustainable nutrition in a climate quiz.
Misleading advertising claims on food were also discussed. Advertising terms such as “climate-neutral” or “CO2-reduced” can be deceptive because they do not say whether a product was actually manufactured in a climate-friendly way. This information is often not comprehensible for consumers, as a market check by consumer advice centers has shown. The head of the food and nutrition team at the Saxony Consumer Center is calling for uniform legal requirements and independent certifications in order to avoid misleading environmental statements.
This information shows that consumers are becoming increasingly aware of sustainable and climate-friendly products. Companies and manufacturers may need to rethink their advertising practices and certifications to meet the demands of responsible and transparent food production. This can lead to increased demand for certified, sustainable products and further strengthen the market for environmentally friendly food.
