Childhood nature experiences lead to sustainable food choices in adulthood
Biodiversity is an important factor in determining whether or not a food source is considered sustainable. Locally made food products are considered more biodiversity-friendly than food products with long production chains. Other biodiversity-friendly farming practices include cultivating native plants and following sustainable fishing practices. Because food consumption has a heavy impact on the environment, this study aimed to understand the social-psychological factors that lead adults to make more sustainable food choices.
