Within sustainability, food systems are a significant focus because of their holistic importance across environmental and social wellness. Producing and transporting food, as well as handling food waste, is a major source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, estimated around 14.5% worldwide. Food quality and nutrition are also a major factors in public health. Many of the leading causes of death in the developed world — heart disease, obesity, diabetes — are closely linked to dietary intake. In regions of the world with less abundance, food and water scarcity’s just as deadly.
