Discover more tips for more sustainable eating
What you eat has the greatest impact. Animal products generate more emissions, use more land, and use more water than plant-based alternatives.

Fresh, locally grown vegetables, straight from the farm. De Groente Amsterdammer delivers sustainable vegetable packages throughout the city.
Choose plant-based butter and cheese
Most milk in the EU goes to cheese and butter, not to drinking. These products therefore have a greater climate impact than milk itself.
Replace cow's milk with plant-based milk
Cow's milk emits three times more CO₂ and uses 22 times more water than soy milk. Plant-based milk is more sustainable, and soy for soy milk causes almost no deforestation.
Replace beef with chicken once a week
Replace beef with chicken once a week and save as much CO₂ as a 54-kilometer car ride. A small effort, a big difference.
Pay attention to the labels THT / TGT
THT (“best before”) means the product is often still fine after the date. TGT (“use by”) is for fresh products and must be followed strictly. Know the difference and avoid unnecessary waste.
Compost your food scraps
35% of our fruit and vegetable waste ends up in the trash. Compost it and return nutrients to nature – good for the soil and the climate.
Focus on what you eat, not where it comes from
The impact of your meal lies primarily in the ingredients. Even imported plants emit less CO₂ than local meat due to the high impact of livestock farming.
Join the VeggieChallenge
Meat production takes up a huge amount of space. Half of the habitable land is used for agriculture, primarily for meat and dairy. Less meat really helps.
