Presentation by Dr Rosemary Stanton: The coming revolution in our eating habits

Climate change is likely to affect everything in our lives, including the food we eat. There are some obvious anomalies to address, including the absurdity of importing products such as bottled water, wine and cheeses and also using energy resources to create processed products that contribute no kilojoules so that overfed people can eat even more.

Other areas that will almost certainly change will include a move to locally grown foods, more products grown using sustainable organic methods, less meat (especially grain-fed beef) and more plant-based foods. There will also be a huge need to teach people how to cook from scratch rather than using packaged processed foods.
