A global study from Tufts University published in Nature Food found that eating healthy can save money and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to current food choices. The study identified locally available foods that meet nutritional needs with low emissions and costs, challenging the belief that climate-friendly eating is expensive. Lead researcher William A. Masters emphasized the importance of considering both cost and emissions when making food choices, highlighting that cheaper food options generally have lower emissions within each food group. This research provides valuable insights for climate solutions experts looking to promote sustainable and affordable food choices.
