While the environmental impact of what you eat matters more than how it is cooked or where you eat it, cooking and eating at home is generally better for the environment than eating out in restaurants.

Making food at home not only allows you to source sustainable ingredients, waste less food, and use less energy, but home cooking, especially using a diet rich in plants, means less impact on the environment.

Benefits of Eating at Home: 

• Cooking at home means you control where your ingredients come from.
• Making meals at home means you can control food and packaging waste.
• A home kitchen uses less energy than a commercial kitchen.
• Home-cooked meals are better for you, the planet, and your wallet.
• Preparing food at home allows you to put your food waste to good use.
