Designing for planet-friendly diets

It turns out that eating in a more climate-friendly way is surprisingly easy. And yet most of us have it wrong.

This talk, based on CICERO's research on climate friendly food, explains why our food choices matter, and shows how you can easily make impactful changes.

The speakers also share some reflections on the challenges of designing for climate-friendly diets.
